I adapted recipe from Joy of baking, with some adjustments which resulted a failure :p
Ingredients
230g all purpose flour
150g granulated white sugar (used brown sugar)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
113g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 ripe large bananas (approximately 454g), mashed well (used about 4, and additional 1 for garnish)
1 tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 180C and place oven rack to middle position
- Butter and flour the bottom and sides of a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Set aside
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the mashed bananas (mash with salt), eggs, melted butter and vanilla
- With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, lightly fold the wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined and the batter is thick and chunky.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake until bread is golden brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 - 60 minutes.
- Place on a wire rack to cool and then remove the bread from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature
I followed most ingredients and every steps accordingly until folding the banana mixture to the dry ingredients, I found the batter very dry and trying to be creative, I added 1/2 cup of milk, should go for 1/4 cup, just don know what I was thinking that day... sigh.... thus the ending result of the cake:
Instead of a buttery, fluffy type of banana cake, I got a oily and kuih type banana cake
Luckily, though the texture is funny, the taste is still good. Lesson learned, do not simply add in too much milk :p
