No-Oven Banana Condensed Milk Cake

by

Ingredients

  • 1 can (400g / 14 oz) condensed milk
  • 3 ripe bananas (well mashed) 🍌
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: crushed biscuits (for base like in image)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare mixture

  • Mash bananas until smooth
  • Add condensed milk + vanilla → mix well

2. Add dry ingredients

  • Sift flour + baking powder + salt
  • Mix into banana mixture → smooth batter

🔥 Cooking (No Oven Methods)

Option 1: Pan / Stovetop

  • Grease a pan or small pot
  • Pour batter in
  • Cover with lid
  • Cook on very low heat for 25–30 minutes

Option 2: Steaming (Best result 👍)

  • Pour batter into a greased container
  • Steam for 30–35 minutes
  • Check with toothpick

Option 3: Microwave (closest to “5 min” claim)

  • Use microwave-safe dish
  • Cook for 5–7 minutes (depends on power)
    ⚠️ Texture will be softer, not like baked cake

🍰 For the layered look (like image)

  • Add a biscuit base:
    • Crush biscuits + mix with melted butter
    • Press into pan
  • Pour batter on top
  • Cook/steam → gives that sandwich style

⚠️ Reality check

  • It’s not truly 5 minutes unless microwaved
  • Texture is more like:
    • Custard cake / pudding cake
  • No eggs = softer structure

💡 Tips

  • Use very ripe bananas (more sweetness, better texture)
  • Add 1 tbsp butter for richer taste
  • Chill before cutting → cleaner slices
