Truly African Banana Cake (Chigumu)
Today is Malawi's 56th Independence. It's only right to prepare African/Malawian delicacies on such a memorial day.
What makes this an African cake is the use of mgaiwa (whole grain maize flour) and in some cases baking the cake over a charcoal burner with heated charcoal at the bottom and atop the tin lid. I cheated a bit and baked mine in the oven.
Enjoy! #MyCookbook
