Banana Cake...Kvindou 天才少厨师

I not only Live TO Eat, but i also keen in cooking. Today i'm going to show you all how to make a tasty banana cake..One of "Ah PiT Secret Home Recipe"

The ingredients needed for 1kg of Banana cake are
3 Pisang Tali
250gm of flour
185gm of sugar
185gm of butter
3 limes
2 eggs
2 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of Soda Bicarbonate



















Equipments needed
A Mixer
A container
A smasher? (Motar and ...)
A weigher
An Oven
A clive









After all ingredients and equipments are ready, i promise the cake will be hot hot to be served in about 1 hour.

I will make the procedure to be as clear as possible so that anyone who is first time making a cake will have a clear path to follow. Each procedure i'm going to attach with a picture, hope that helps. Here we go...

1) Mixed the sugar with the butter in a container.









2) Use the mixer to blend the sugar and butter together. Blend them until the mixture color become very light yellow or almost white. You will also see the mixture become "kembang" and creamer. The left photo shows that the mixture is still not white and kembang enough. The right picture is the correct thing you should get. (Remember, only use the mixer to mix in one way such as only clockwise or counter clock wise. If this is not follow, the baking results will fail)









3) Add 1 of the egg and blend until it is even then only add the other egg and repeat the same step.









4) Add the lime juice and the vanilla essence into the mixture and blend it evenly again.







5) Smash the banana into a paste form and pour it into the container of mixture. Blend evenly.







6) At the other side, mix the flour, soda bicabonate and baking powder together. Use a clive to ensure that the mixture is loose and do not have any other odd particles.








7) Remove the mixer. Add the mixture of flour, soda bicarbonate and baking powder into the container. Do not use the mixer to mix the ingredients by this point. It will cause the baking results to fail. Use a spoon or other things to mix them. Mix evenly.








8) The baking container should be covered with a thin layer of butter so that the cake won't stick to the container later. With the butter, the side of the cake will be crispier also.








9) Pour the ingredients into the baking container and spread it evenly.








10) Put the baking container into the oven to bake for 45mins and it is ready to be served.










Around 30mins, the fragrance of the cake can be smelt through the whole house.

When just take out from oven, remember to taste the top brown layer first as it is the best of the best.










A little suggestion from Kvindou
The banana that you use need to be Pisang Tali and not Pisang Tanduk or Pisang Kapok. The cake will have a nicer color, taste and smell with Pisang Tali.

The vanilla essence need to be the brand i used. Star Brand. Other brand don't seems to have that special taste.

If want to be healthier, reduce the sugar and butter used but for sure the taste will also reduce.

Just a 10 cent worth of suggestion from Kvindou.
