Banana Chiffon Cake (Favourite)

This is also shared with me by Xinying. Very very good. I simply loved it. It was very soft and moist. Thou felt that the banana taste was a little lacking. This can be solved easily. I have also change the recipe slightly to suit my chiffon pan size and for my convenient. I will be doing a durian version with this base recipe. =D

Banana Chiffon Cake

I had tried this recipe quite many years ago when I first start attempting to bake. It wasn’t very successful then, the bottom was like “kuek”. Now using the same recipe, it is much easier now, hee. This is not bad, but a bit dry. Think its my oven again.

Recipe will follow later

Banana (Cup)cakes

This is a recipe from Cake Journal. It had the details for the cake version. This is more different from the ones that I had baked before. This is more dense but yet still moist and soft. I had added in some chocolate rice as I specially baked this for the YL mothers’ gathering at Children botanic garden (Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden)outing.

The outing was really fun. It’s amazing at the children that we have in our zone. The kids totally enjoyed themselves. Le Xuan is still too young, probably have to wait for at least 1 year before she can play over there. The enviroment is very condusive and with various facilities available.

I had baked this after my friday night class, hence was too tired to take any pictures for this.
