Method: 步骤
1. Use a hand whisk, whisk egg yolk and whole egg until frothy (until small bubbles appeared), whisk in mashed banana, oil and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
把蛋黄和全蛋打至起小泡，加入香蕉泥，油和香草精。搅拌均匀。
2. Gradually sieve in (A). Gently whisk until no more lumps. Do not over mix the batter.
分次筛入材料 (A)，混合均匀即可。不要过度搅拌。
3. In a stand mixer, beat egg white and lemon juice/ cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in sugar. Continue to beat until the meringue is stiff, but not dry.
把蛋白和柠檬汁／塔塔粉打至起泡，慢慢加入细砂糖，打至接近硬性发泡。看上图。
4. Fold meringue into the yolk batter in 3 batches.
分次把蛋白混入蛋黄糊，混合均匀即可。
5. Pour the batter into the lined cake tin. Gently tap the cake tin on worktop to release trapped air.
把面糊倒入已铺了油纸的蛋糕模，轻轻在桌面敲几下。
6. Steam bake in a preheated oven 160'C for 60 minutes. When it's done, remove the cake tin from oven. Invert the cake, peel off the baking sheet. Let it cool completely on the rack. Best serve chilled.
放进已预热的烤箱，以160度，蒸烘法，烘烤60分钟或至熟。烘烤完成后，把蛋糕倒扣，取出蛋糕。把油纸拿掉，蛋糕放在架子上待凉。蛋糕放冰箱冷却后即可享用。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。
