♥...Banana Cake...♥

Happy February 2011!!! WOW, the year just started and we are in the second month already!

I'm so happy b'coz my dearest Hubby would be returning home this month! Hehehe...only God knows how much we missed him and how bored I am without him...the kids too! *sigh..

Anyways, here's another cake I baked recently. Hey, you must be thinking I'm baking quite often nowadays na...yeah very true! I'm kinda addicted to baking now. Not only I could pack them for my son everyday to school but it also helps me to learn the techniques in baking and thus I wish to bake a cake using my own recipe in near future. Hopefully!!!

I found the Banana Cake recipe from Baking Code by the famous Chef, Alex Goh. I never had enough of his books. He is simply a stunning baker!

So, here you go. I've halved the original recipe and skipped sultanas and walnuts as mentioned.

BANANA CAKE adapted from Banana Cupcake, Baking Code by Alex Goh

Ingredients :~

• 125gm plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 egg
• 125gm sugar
• 125gm banana 
• pinch of salt
• 50ml milk
• 75ml corn oil
• raisins (x)
• chopped walnut (x)

Method:~

1. Mash banana with salt. 
2. Beat egg and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the mashed banana. Beat until thick.
3. Add milk and mix well.
4. Mix in flour, baking powder and soda until well combined.
5. Lastly, add oil and mix until well incorporated.
6. Pour into cake tin ( I used loaf tin) and bake at 180C for 25-30 minutes. 

** If you are making cupcakes, add sultanas after oil. Pour the batter into cupcake moulds and sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top and bake.

Simple isn't it. I simply dusted some icing sugar over the cake. Yummyyyyyy!!!
