Keke fa'i - banana cake

In my childhood abode , our pots ranged from large to gigantic. We used massive rectangular roasting dishes together with deep stock pots almost every day. Food was dished from giant serving plates together with bowls using matching giant serving spoons together with tongs. 


We had a wok that was thence large it couldn't move lifted amongst ane manus , together with a ginormous teapot bigger than the size of my head. That Jurassic teapot was ever filled amongst tea or java or koko , the spout plugged amongst a makeshift paper 'cork' to proceed the flies out


What I squall upwards of our kitchen was that everything was either large , bigger or biggest. The chopping boards , the knives , the juice pitchers , the wooden spoons - all HUGE.


No , nosotros didn't function a catering business. 
We were simply your average Samoan family. 



So my woman rear would brand this cake inward a baking pan that I intend exclusively professional person marriage ceremony cake makers use. That pan I squall upwards was well-nigh sixteen inches (40 cm) inward diameter , together with despite its size the cakes ever came out perfectly , without sticking. When she turned her cakes out onto the cooling rack , they would patch amongst a puff of steam , polish nighttime brownish edges and an irresistible baked banana smell
