Recipe: 4 Banana Cake
1st try: (adapted from masak-masak) made once before, refer to previous 2012 post
165g banana (defrosted from frozen and pooling water removed)
130g egg
110g sugar
110 oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
227g flour (replace 25g with cornflour)
1 teaspoon soda bicarbonate
1/2 teaspoon salt
around 165Celcius
2nd try: (adapted from masak-masak)
My YouTube showing me making it 🙂
100g sugar(reduced from original recipe 170g)
225g plain flour
1 teaspoon soda bicarbonate
1/4 teaspoon salt
113g oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
3rd try: modified from Yogurt cake, substituting some of the yogurt with banana:
120g sugar
130g yogurt
240g banana
100 oil
3 eggs
300g flour
2.5 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
nutmeg
Verdict: It felt slightly too wet, perhaps having too much liquid from the yogurt and banana?! Not memorable.
4th try: (adapted from masak-masak)
…
Below are photos of all 4 tries of making banana cake, 3 of which using masak-masak’s recipe, and one using yogurt cake recipe
First try: using a blender
baking in a loaf pan
done
no visible banana “strand” 🙁 as i used a blender
recipe for 2nd try
using a fork to mash the banana with sugar
lovely banana strand
3rd try, adapted from a yogurt cake base recipe
yogurt + egg + vanilla, banana etc
4th try, using a blender as well, as the banana is not ripe enough and would be difficult to fully mash them
no visible strand, not memorable at all
Overall, the 2nd try yield the best looking result, with beautiful banana black strand. Never use blender to make banana cake!
