My dad brought back a lot of organic bananas from the land behind our house.
The sad thing is bananas is not our type of fruit.
The fastest way o get rid of this overripe bananas is to process them into cake.
My dad don't like to eat banana but likes banana cake. How strange is he?
He also like a type of fried banana balls that he used to eat in his childhood but i can't find any recipe online. I have tried a few recipes but is not what he expected.Usually we can get these from malay stalls that selling fried bananas beside roads. Anyone has the recipe please share with me. Thanks in advance.
I choose this recipe for my banana cake because it looks so tempting in
Wen's blog
I baked them in paper cups so that i don't need to do a lot of washing afterward! ^^ lazy me
The banana cake is very soft and spongy and you can eat many in one go.
My dad like it very much but he complaint that the cakes are quite sweet.Maybe my bananas is sweet enough.
i think the sweetness is ok but they are quite oily.
Should reduce the sugar to 50g and oil to 50g next time.
But for you all, don't reduce the sugar as my dad really not a sweet tooth people.
