aromatic banana cake

banana cake in the process of cooling down

freshly out from the oven

The bunch of banana placed on the dining table gave me an idea on making Banana Cake for my family.  This is not the first time I'm making Banana Cake, however, this time round I tried to use this recipe from Wen's Delight.  I did a little bit, just tiny bit of modification to the recipe but it still turns out alright.  Here you go..:

ingredients

- 200g of ripe bananas, cut into small pieces

- 130g of brown sugar (you may use granulated white sugar)

- 3 medium sized eggs

- 150g of plain flour

- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

- 100g of vegetable oil (in Wen's recipe, she stated any oil except olive oil)

- 1/8 teaspoon of banana essence (optional)

method

- grease baking with butter, you may use 8" round cake tin, I used loaf tin

- pre-heat oven to 160 degree Celsius

- sieve plain flour, baking powder and baking soda and leave a side

- whisk sugar and banana

- add in eggs, one at a time and whisk till smooth,

- whisk the mixture until stiff or ribbon state

- fold in the flour and mix well

- add in the oil and mix until batter is shiny and smooth

- add in banana essence and mix well

- pour the mixture into cake tin

- bake it for 40 - 45 minutes

- insert a toothpick into the centre of the cake, if it comes out clean, the cake is done

- remove cake from cake tin, cool completely before cutting it. enjoy~~
