Banana Cake


Hi

I baked this on last weekend.

It’s a very fragrant cake and it’s another one of my best banana cake recipe.  
This is a wonderfully soft, fluffy, moist and has natural banana fragrant at the same time.  It’s lovely with tea for an afternoon snacks.

Over ripen bananas are really ideal in making bananas cake!  The ripen the better J as they have sweet taste and very fragrant.  The aroma of the banana from the oven filled my whole house while it is still baking.  Such a delight!
The recipe called for ground cinnamon.  But I skipped it because I don’t have it in my kitchen.  However, I add in some walnuts to create a zing to the cake J
Thanks to my ex-colleague, Pancy.  This is definitely one of the best banana cake!

Yummy!  No leftover.  All finished within the day.

  2. Hi There, I stumbled on your blog as I was looking for reviews on the HBN331E2J Bosch Oven and I am quite delighted to see that you have made many wonderful creations using it. Do you have any feedback (pros and cons) about the oven so far? :) - DC

    1. Hi DC, The oven has been doing good so far. If I have the budget, I'll go for the one with electronic control knobs for the timer instead of basic button control knobs :D
