Banana Yoghurt Cake

Rumah aku dan pisang dah synonym. Jarang sangat kat rumah aku takde pisang.  Most of the time  memang bersikat sikat pisang atas meje.  No,  we are not species monyet yang menjadikan pisang as makan ruji,  but somehow,  hubby mesti nak pisang.  Sudahnya bila pegi pasar tani on saturday,  aku akan borong banyak pisang.  Sometimes bila dah middle of the week,  pisang dah jadi over ripe sebab tak sempat nak makan.  Maka,  terpaksa la aku buat kek pisang.

This cake is actually an inspired recipe of greek yoghurt banana cake.  Tak ku sangka,  kek ni sangat sedap.  Cuma bila bake guna bundt pan,  melekat sikit kat dalam pan tu.  Maybe sebab the batter is a bit runny.  Kalau guna bundt pan,  kena make sure guna recipes with  thick batter.  Then baru la kek keluar dari pan cantik!

Yummy Banana Walnut Cake

Rumah aku dah jadi mcm pusat pelupusan pisang.  Last week beli pisang berangan 2 sikit kat pasar tani.  Then aku mintak dengan pakcik tu nak beli pisang untuk cekodok rm5, dia bagi 5 sikit pisang emas and separuh sikat pisang berangan for rm5!!! Pengsan aku tengok pisang2 tu.  Tak mampu untuk ku habiskan..  Huhuhu

The girls pulak kurang suka makan pisang,  dunno why.  Pastu terpikir,  buat banana walnut cake sedap jugak.  Maka,  seperti biasa,  aku pun google recipe.  I found a recipe kat foodnetwork.com.  Kek ni memang sedap sangat,  moist and soft.

Best Banana Cake
By Annabel Langbein

250g butter, at room temperature
1½ cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed (about 2 cups)
2 tsp baking soda
½ cup hot milk
2 cups wholemeal flour
1 cup plain flour
2 tsp baking powder

Lemon Icing:

50g butter, at room temperature
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 cups icing sugar

Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a medium (23cm-diameter) cake tin with baking paper or prepare four 10cm-diameter tins (recycled large 425g tuna cans are perfect) or 12 muffin tins.

Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then vanilla and bananas.

Dissolve baking soda in hot milk, add to mixture and stir to combine.

Stir in flour and baking powder and fold gently into mixture using a big spoon and a large scooping action to keep the mixture light. Do not over mix.

Spoon mixture into prepared tin(s) and smooth top(s). Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top is springy to the touch. One large cake will take 50-60 minutes, allow 45-55 minutes for medium cakes and about 20 minutes for muffin-sized cakes. Allow to cool in tin(s) and then turn out. Ice when cool. Store in a sealed container in a cool place for 2-3 days or freeze

Banana Cake - Dorie Greenspan

Many people have tried and baked this in their kitchen. Aku memang as usual, will be the last one yg akan buat femes recipe. hehe.. why? I just want to be different.

The reason I chose this recipe is because aku ada yoghurt and banana dalam peti. And tomorrow I have SSP gathering kat rumah our batch in Shah Alam, so kena la bake something kan. The verdict? Kek ni memang sedap! Very moist and gebu!!

Banana Cake

Food.com

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (I used 250gm of salted butter)
2 cups sugar (I reduced to 1 1/2 cup, can be reduced further to 1 1/4 cup)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
about 4 very ripe banana, mashed (1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups) (I used 6 ripe pisang berangan)
1 cup plain yogurt


Directions:

1 Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350°F Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (12 cup) Bundt pan. (If you use a silicone pan there's no need to butter it.) Don't place the pan on a baking sheet - you want the oven's heat to circulate through the Bundt's inner tube.

2 Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together.

3 Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each egg goes inches Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the bananas. Finally, mix in half the dry ingredients (don't be disturbed when the batter curdles), all the sour cream and then the rest of the flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the pan, rap the pan on the counter to debubble the batter and smooth the top.

4 Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes - if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto the rack to cool to room temperature. If you have time, wrap the cooled cake in plastic and allow it to sit overnight before serving - it's even better the next day.

5 OPTIONAL LEMONY WHITE ICING: Sift 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a bowl and squeeze in enough fresh lemon juice (start with 2 teaspoons and add more by drops) to make an icing thin enough to drizzle down the Bundt's curves.

6 MUFFIN OPTION: Halve the recipe. You can add nuts or chocolate chips. Bake 28-32 minutes. Yields 12 muffins.

Banana Foster Bundt Cake

I am in love with bundt cake, dunno why.. Maybe sebab bundt cake sangat senang nak buat. Today I am going to have lunch with K.Teh kat Dome Midvalley. K.Teh cakap, kalau on Friday boleh lepak lama2 sebab her lunch hour panjang sikit. Maka, langkah aku pun panjang la jugak .. hehe.. Hubby bengkek je sebab aku kena tinggalkan dia sorang2 kat rumah. He is on MC sebab tak sihat.

This is one of the best bundt cake ever. Aku suka softness of the cake, it's not dry at all, very moist and not sweet. Rasa manis tu just enough. Aku tak payah reduced the sugar. And the best part is the nutty caramalised banana. Peh!! it does make a LOT of difference :)

Chocolate Banana Cake with cream cheese frosting

Rumah aku dah jadi stok penyimpanan pisang sebab byknya pisang. Sampai tak termakan pisang2 tu. Aku terpaksa memerah otak, pikir nak buat apa dgn pisang yg banyak tu. Last2, aku buat kek. I choose joyofbaking recipe sebab recipe ni takde guna butter. I ran out of butter, terpaksa la guna minyak jagung. Aku buat 2 adunan sebab nak habiskan pisang yg Ada.
