The Most Fabulous Banana Cake



Monday monday monday... its been four days since we got home fm KL.. the trip was a good one.. am blessed to be able to meet up with lots of wonderful ladies.. who wud hv thought that someday i am able to know and meet great bakers! keep on baking ladies cos the best way to learn how to bake is by baking and testing what u bake every single day hehehe


So with laundry and also orders to fulfill.. i finally managed to bake something for the family.. something simple and yet delicious... a cake that got both my kids asking for more.. the cake that i had bake four times since i first stumbled upon this recipe... This fabulous banana cake is super easy  to prepare and the best part.. u only need to use ur food processor to do the job! Ty Jo of Sugar and Everything Nice for sharing such a wonderful recipe.. i cannot describe how much our family hearts this recipe :o)

Now add the buttermilk and vanilla extract and pulse in quick on/off bursts. The add the flour and again mix it in with quick bursts, scrapping down the sides once or twice.

Hi Rima, I agree this cake looks simply fab! I've watched Belinda Jeffery on her cooking shows for many years and must say she's one of my favourites! And so many cakes in her Mix & Bake cookbook are just crying to be baked at home. I heartily recommend the bk to all yr readers :)

Hi, I baked this cake last night, it turned out v.v.sweet, may I know why need so much 340g of sugar? even I cut down to 280g with brown sugar, it still very very sweet.
Thank you for your advice.

Rima said...

Hi Soh
that is the recipe that i used and if u are not a sweet person.. u can always cut it down.. ours turned out perfect.. am not too sure what kinda banana u use.. am using Cavendish banana for this recipe.

Rima said...

Shahlin
hehehe yes i can see that capital letters of urs.. same reaction i got when i first got an email fm my reader..i also terkejut beruk hahaha

Messy Mummy said...

Hi Kak Rima..
I baked this last week. Can't agree more... The taste is FAB...
BUT...
Where did I do wrong...? Bila potong jer, each slice will patah dua.. MM ikut all the recipe cuma kurang kan gula sikit jer...
Do you have any idea why?
*baru belajar so x sure... Hehehe

Thanks Kak Rima..
