Due to the event in NCC - NCCBrowniesWeek, i brave myself to try in making this delicious dessert. Actually i ever made this cake ages ago when i was still a student and learnt to bake a cake. It was easy for me at that time, dunno why. And i was serving it with a dollop of vanilla fla hmmm. But after some years i get so rusty in baking, so bismillah here it goes my lovelies...Brownies Goey Cappucino.

This recipe i modify from the blog of Nicke Dkania Hossein https://aucoindemacuisine.wordpress.com/?s=brownies&submit=Search and a tutorial video from Youtube by Laura Vitale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzJEvNNtwv4

3 potatoes, cut them into small dice, boil and mash them nicely

1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs beat lightly
350 ml milk or coconut milk (i use both of them and mix it)

Topping
12 dates cut into dices and roll them into a pinch of flour so they wont stick to each other

How to
1. Boil the A ingredients together until the butter dissolved. Turn off the stove and cool it off.
 

The cooling pot with butter and water in it, add the flour now.

2. When it is cool, then put the flour, potatoes, brown sugar, and salt.

Put every dry ingredients in it.

3. When it is mixed then add the egg one by one. The last step is pouring the milk / coconut milk into the batter. The consistency will be sooo light. Its okay my lovelies, that is what we want to have. Pour the batter into the pan that has been greased or cover with greasy paper. Sprinkle the dates evenly on the top of it.
4. Heat Your oven in 150 degree until it pings and turn it low until 125 degree to bake the dough until 30-35 minutes or whenever Your stick comes clean after You check the cake. Take it out from the oven and let it cool. The textur of the cake is so heavenly smooth and smell so nice because of the coonut milk and potatos.

Notes
* As You can see my lovelies, we can also steam it in Your rice cooker just like when You cook rice.
* For vegan You can skip the egg and change that with 5 spoons of melted butter and buttermilk 1/2 cup, and reduce the number of the water in the recipe from 200 ml into 100 ml. Happy baking my lovelies...spread the nice home cooking to all the people You love.

After we pour the topping

Make a swirl with the stick

How to:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients from the main ingredients, start with flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, vanilla/cinnamon, and banana.
2. Mix them with Your spatula till it is mixed nicely. Then add the milk after the egg. The consistency will be heavy, it is okay. The last put the melted butter/oil and stir slowly until it is mixed.
3. Take Your pan and grease it with butter or just lay a greasy paper on it. Mine is 25x21, You can also use the muffin pan, it works beautifully also. Just dont forget to grease or put the greasy pans lovelies.
4. Turn on Your oven 150 degree till it pings, then lower it for about 135 degree.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and put Nutella for the topping, dont forget to make a swirl with a stick on top of Your cake lovelies, yes just like a swirly waves.
6. Bake it for about 35-40 minutes. But do make a cut from one side to the other side to release the air, so Your cake wont burst up. Make the cut when the cooking is about 15 minutes (when the cake is still lumpy) or You can do it when the cake is starting to be toughen up (20 minutes of cooking).
7. Cut when it is cool but dont let it cold too long for the nutella crut might be difficult to cut. Happy baking....

Notes
* For a vegan, just skip the egg, replace it with another 4 spoons of milk will also work.
* I skipp the vanilla or cinnamon due to the strong aroma of banana, i wont ruin that lovely smell my lovelies.....especially after baking it.
