If you are following my posts, for sure you knew about my attempts on banana cakes. Some cakes texture didn't turn out well as what I expected, mainly I'm too wild in changing the original recipes or could it be the method used :) When I saw Joelyn幸福起点 daring to add 500g bananas to her banana cake, I stunned and realized adding more banana wouldn't make the cake texture looks dense, it must be another reason....
Recently I saw Wen's Delight baked a Soft and Spongy Banana Cake, she used 400g bananas! Moreover, she has a special slide created to show how to make a perfect soft and spongy banana cake, this encourage me to give myself a try to bake a big banana cake :) Thank you Wen for your beautiful recipe and step by step slide!
The cake is for tomorrow cell group and I think it has the blessing from God as this is my first successful banana cake texture (not counting my previous chocolate banana cupcake, as it is smaller in size)
Soft and fluffy texture, no dense surface!
See the patch on top? I wrapped the cake in hurry and went to pick up Gabriel from school, came home to discover the wrapping film sticked on the cake surface, luckily not much harm done!

ReplyDeleteyour banana cake looks good ;)
ReplyDeleteOooo the cake look so good! Bookmarked! =D Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHeyy just wanted to ask if omitting the baking soda is okay? because your cake looks fine but i thought you need baking soda for the cake to rise?
ReplyDelete>>鲸鱼, 快快哟，期待你的做品！
ReplyDelete>>Cathy, thanks! It is very soft and yummy!
>>Jet, this recipe is easy and fast!
>>Janine, yes, I heard someone advice me on the baking soda also, but so far I didn't add baking soda in any of my baking! For this recipe, you need to whisk the egg mixture until really light and fluffy! My conclusion is no need to add baking soda in this banana cake.
好软，都不可以用力拿哦，不然掉满地，哈~
ReplyDeleteBernice, 噢，是很软很香，但不会掉满地 ：）
