Banana & Carrot Steamed Cake

I've baked lots of varieties of banana cakes and muffins before, for a change I attempted a steamed version one :) Very moist and tender cake crumbs. My son whom usually don't like banana cake chomp down half the loaf within one day! The other old boy even requested me to make this cake again after the last slice was polished up :D

It would be a great idea to add nuts into this banana & carrot steamed cake, but I know my kids will just dig them out therefore I omitted it :D

Ingredient

• 300gm ripen bananas, mashed
• 100gm grated carrots
• 100gm light brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla paste
• 200gm plain flour
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
