Black Sesame & Banana Chiffon

Looking for ways to use up very ripe banana instead of making the usual banana bread? Give this chiffon cake a try!

I love how light and fluffy this chiffon cake turns out every time. The airy texture is just perfect, and what makes it even better is the delightful combination of flavors. The delicate nuttiness from the black sesame seeds adds a unique twist and complements the natural sweetness of the ripe bananas. It’s a harmonious blend where neither flavor dominates, creating a balance that’s simply delicious.

This chiffon cake has quickly become my go-to recipe whenever I have ripe bananas on hand. It’s not just a dessert; it’s a delightful treat that brings out the best in those bananas. Whether you enjoy it with a cup of coffee in the morning or as a sweet ending to a meal, this chiffon cake is fantastic with its lightness and delightful delicate flavors.
