Vietnamese Banana Cake Recipe
By Thang Ngo
One of my favourite desserts is banh chuoi, literally translated as banana cake. It’s a delicious glutinous, amber coloured dessert with layers or sliced banana and usually cut into diamonds. The texture is chewy, firm with sesame seeds providing extra flavour and plenty of oozy coconut milk for that unmistakable Asian creaminess.
Watch the close up video of Vietnamese banh chuoi below and hope your mouth doesn’t water.
