Cake after eight

Tokyo Banana

Tokyo Banana (東京ばな奈) is a very popular banana flavored sweet, often considered to be the #1 souvenir from Tokyo.

I never thought of making this at home, but I tried it for my viewers :)

Pureed banana custard cream was smooth and delicious.

Directions:

((Banana Custard Cream))

1. In a bowl, mash banana with a fork.
2. Add A 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.

((Finish))

1. Cut the sponge cake into 4 squares. Then cut them into thin (0.2 inch) slices.
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.
