Tokyo Banana recipe


Here I will show you how to make the famous Japanese snack, Tokyo Banana.


Time: 60min
Number of servings: 8 (cream is for 16 or more)

Necessary Equipment:
9-inch square brownie pan, electric mixer

Ingredients:

For Sponge Cake
* 2 egg
* 50g superfine sugar
* 35g cake flour
* 20g (0.7o) milk (room temperature)

For Banana Custard Cream:
* 100g of banana
* 1 egg
* 1 tbsp. corn starch
* 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
* 150ml milk
* A few drops of vanilla extract

Directions:

For Sponge Cake:

1. Line the brownie pan with waxed paper or parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
2. Beat eggs and sugar with wire whisk in a metal bowl. Placed it over the pan of hot water and melt the sugar and warm them up to 40C (104F). 
3. Then with an electric mixer, beat the batter on high speed for about 5 minutes until white and fluffy. Then on low speed, beat for about 2 minutes to set the texture.
4. Sift in flour and fold together with spatula for about 10 times.
5. Add milk and fold together with spatula for about 50 times until combined.
6. Spread the batter in the brownie pan and drop the pan lightly on the counter to raise the air bubbles out of the batter.
7. Bake at 180C (350F) for 11-12 minutes till lightly brown. (Depending on the heat of the oven, cooking time may differ, so please watch out.)
8. When it's done, drop the pan lightly to prevent shrinking. Remove the sponge cake from the pan by lifting the wax paper and place it on a wire rack to cool. 
9. When it's cool enough, remove the parchment paper and place the sponge cake on the parchment paper with the brown side up.

For Banana Custard Cream:
1. In a bowl, mash banana with a fork.
2. Add the other required ingredients and mix well. 
3. Strain the mixture through a sieve into a saucepan. 
4. Put on low, stir constantly, and stop the heat when the cream starts to thicken. Mix well with the remaining heat. If you like, add a few drops of vanilla extract. Leave to cool completely.
5. Transfer the cream into a pastry bag OR into a dish covered tightly with plastic wrap (make sure the cream sticks to the plastic wrap to keep from drying out). Chill in the fridge.

Wrap of Tokyo Banana:
1. Cut the sponge cake into 4 squares.
2. Place the cake on plastic wrap (with the brown side up), pipe out the Banana Custard Cream, roll, and securely twist the ends like a candy.
