Banana cake

Have you ever crave for something that you bake/cook?

Like there’s nothing outside that can be compared to your own baking/cooking? haha.. for me, it’s Banana Cake! I have never been a fan of Banana cakes because I find those in bakeries ( in SG that is) very oily.. BH likes Banana cake though. He was the one who suggested that I baked it. Anyway, my first attempt on baking Banana Cake was BAD – I guess.. it got to do with the recipe. I followed another recipe and was glad that it worked out perfectly!

I am glad that I kinda perfected my Banana Cake! 😀 and I absolutely love how my Banana Cake taste~~ Yummy!!

Usually, people bake Banana cake because their bananas are over-ripe… for my case… I BOUGHT BANANAS for this purpose! 🙂 haha.. so 1/2 way thru’ preparing the ingredients.. I realised that my baking power expired!!! OMG!!!! I wanted to eat MY Banana Cake so badly that I kept calm and carried on. Phew.. I was glad I did!! It turned out super well!!!

AND I realised that another trick to baking is to use SMALL pans. Recipes recommends 8/9-inch pans BUT u don’t have to use such a big pan. Small pan = mistakes are minimized. Small pan also means that u could give away a cake to your neighbour/friend easily. wahaha…. NOT for this Banana Cake though… We love it so much that we could finish all up in a day!!! Of course we didn’t la!!

Are you drooling??!!

How you know you made good Banana cake?? In my opinion, it’s when the bottom is not hard and there is NO 2 layer difference in colour. If there’s a difference in colour – it means you probably overbeat the batter 🙂

I think I need to grab a slice of my cake now…. kekeke

P/S: Hope u didn’t go bananas reading this.. haha.. I think I have nv typed bananas so many times in my life before!!! 😀
