Serawa durian..yup in Brisbane

But no.... it is not me who prepared it (rasa nak pencen dari jadi tukang masak, sape cakap tukang masak kereja nya enteng)....ahahhahahha... The serawa durian was given by our good neighbour, to be eaten with glutinous rice (jiran oghang utagha Malaysia you :D).



So in return, as usual, I baked banana cake for atang's snack, and sent a plate of banana cake to our good neighbour with some prawn sambal with petai.





yours truly,

One banana...two banana... and with 4 bananas I made a Bread Banana

Yaya sang me this song when I called her up last weekend.

"One, banana...two, banana...three, banana..." :D

Another baking project. Atang is getting tired of banana cake, so I need to try different recipe. Again from kak noreen's homecooking.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

80ml buttermilk

120 vegetable/canola oil

225gm banana, mash them (I used 4 ripe bananas)

300gm sugar

220gm plain flour

5gm sodium bicarbonate (1 teaspoon)

3gm salt (a pinch of salt)
60gm chopped pecan/almond/walnut - optional (I add raisins and cinnamon powder)

Method:

1. Shift the flour, together with sodium bi, and salt.

2. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, oil, banana and sugar (or pop everything inside the food processor).

3. Add flour into the banana mixture.

4. Optionally you can add nuts or raisins. And, I add some cinnamon powder.

5. Mix well, and pour the mixture in a greased loaf pan.

6. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 165 degC or until skewer inserted came out clean.

and my fav tag line "yummy"

Yummy and easy Banana cake

Banana cake is one of my favourite cake since I was small (susah kalau citer dengan orang yang suka makan nie, almost everything I like and my favourite :D). I can eat one small loaf of banana cake (yup, a loaf, about the size of 2 Gardenia's vanilla bread sit side by side) in one sitting, and I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But that was a long time ago. La nie, am watching what I am eating.

Though it was my fav cake, I have never try to bake it. Mak did baked banana cake, once or twice, but have never share the recipe with me (well, I didnt' really want to know how to bake it before). A couple of months ago, a friend of my, Kak Su, shared banana cake with us (the research student) at the office. It was so delicious. So I made a point to ask her for the recipe. And she gave me this website for the recipe. The recipe is so simple, it took me just 15 minutes to prepare.



Ingredients:

4 ripe bananas (I used 5, have actually mashed 4 bananas and I thought it was not enough)
3 eggs
1 3/4 cups of self-rising flour
1/4 cup of corn flour
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of oil (I used canola oil)
1 tsp of sodium bicarbonate (I omit this one, didn't have any in the kitchen)
a pinch of salt


Method:

1. Beat the egg and sugar until soft and light
2. Mix in the mashed bananas
3. Then mix in flour, stir and later mix in the oil
4. Put the mixture in a baking tray
5. Bake the cake for 45 - 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted and came out clean






Try it...

p.s. To date, I have baked this cake twice, because atang love it so much :D
