My 2nd attempt at baking a cake from scratch. the 1st - a butter cake didn't turn out rite. didnt get cooked thru n was too wet. this was ok but not great. the edges were too cooked but at least the insides are good enuff. adapted this recipe from a couple of sites.....
ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 50 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 large bananas (ripe & ugly)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
- ½ cup sugar (caster was suggested...but snce i only had raw sugar....)
- 1½ cups self-raising flour (OR 1 ½ plain flour/all purpose flour + 3 tsp of baking powder....i made a booboo of not mixing the latter into the flour before adding to mix. The Wife was totally exasperated....)
recipe
- mix butter, sugar and vanilla with food processor (recipe called for 'creaming' the lot which i dont understand....cos all i did was to beat it too its glue-y)
- add each egg separately, mixing well
- mash bananas and add to mixture
- dissolve soda in milk and add to mixture
- add flour to mixture
- preheat oven to 180°C
- bake in 1 9"x5" tin at 180°C for 35 minutes or until cooked (poke to find out....i actually had it in there for 55 minutes).
i think i'm gonna have a slice for supper......

U have to sieve the plain flour with the baking powder added into it for 3-4 times. Not mixing only eh! Btw, the 'formula' is 1cup flour to 2tsp baking powder hor... hiaks hiaks
