这个蛋糕食谱我收了很久,少说也有五年了。食谱是和我的三婶要的。吃过三婶做的这个蛋糕觉得挺好吃的,就跟她要了食谱,食谱写要用到蛋糕乳化剂,我就是从这里开始认识这种材料的。
记得我曾经兴匆匆的到烘培专卖店买了乳化剂,后来乳化剂就一直躺在厨房的柜子里直到过期,后来我也不了了之。
五年后的今天我终于做了这个蛋糕,我还有点佩服我自己,竟然能把食谱找出来,不枉费三婶的一番心意。
加入蛋糕乳化剂的香蕉蛋糕很松软,姑姑说味道和口感很像柔佛新山市镇一家老咖啡店售卖的自制香蕉蛋糕。当然味道还是比不上,人家几十年的老经验,我想也不敢想要做出一样的水准。
三婶的食谱的是用搅拌机 (blender)的(是的,搅拌机也可以用来打蛋糕),做法方面我只好自己来。糖份方面第一次做我减了15%,但是还是嫌甜,同一个星期内我又做了这款蛋糕,这回我减了35%,甜度就刚刚好了。

hello. Your Banana Cake looks good. If i use cake flour do i still have to put in baking powder and baking soda?
ReplyDeleteI ever tried Banana cake b4, but didn't use SP...
ReplyDeleteThe Fondant Chocolate Cake u asking, the recipe is a bit similar to Aunty Yochana warm chocolate cake recipe...
The recipe is from my friend, so not so convenient for me to post it up...
i like eat .....
ReplyDeletebut u stay so far
Hi tracieMoo,
ReplyDeleteCake flour is low protein flour, it does not consist of baking powder or baking soda. Only self-raising flour consists of baking powder.
Therefore, you still have to add baking powder and baking soda.
Hi Sharon,
ReplyDeleteThis is also my first time using SP in bananas cake. I got another r recipe adapted from Aunty Yochana's blog, that one is my favourite.
I understand it's not convenient to share the recipe. No problem. :)
Hi Sock Peng,
ReplyDeleteLast time you came to Singapore I made chocalate cake for you, next time I will make this cake for you. ^O^
I also like it very much!! :)
ReplyDeleteI will surely bake this one. I like banana cake very much. Already saved your recipe :-)
ReplyDeleteMay I know if I don't have corn oil, can I use normal cooking oil?

ReplyDeleteHi yoonlai,
ReplyDeleteIf you like soft and fluffy bananas cake, you should try to make this when you are free, it's pretty easy.
Hi Joanne,
You can use normal cooking oil but preferably choose one that is very light taste. Most vegetable oil is ok but peanut oil (such as Knife brand) the smell may be a bit strong which will affect the taste of the cake.
Alternatively, you can use melted butter, I am sure it will make the cake more fragrant.
Thanks for the tips Angela.
ReplyDeleteHi Angela,
ReplyDeleteI have finally bought the SP. Therefore I will be trying the cake real soon. Hehe.
May I know what is the serving portion for the recipe?
I am thinking whether to reduce the ingredients into half.
Joanne,
ReplyDeleteDo you have a 8" round pan? The cake fit just nice in a 8" round pan. The serving portion is exactly what you see in the pix.
It can cut into 8 slices to 12 slices depending on the size.
I won't suggest you halve the recipe unless u use a much smaller pan coz the cake will not look nice if it's too short.
Joanne,
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to share with me the verdict after trying. :-)
Your cake looks so yummy!
ReplyDeletelittle prnce's mummy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for ur lovely comment.
Hi, chanced upon ur blog.. can I check with you.. can i dun use the emulsifier for this receipe?
ReplyDeleteHi Linlin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
I think you need to have emulsifier for this recipe as it acts as a stablizer. I doubt the cake will not turn out to as soft and high without emulsifier.
U can easily get the emulsifier in baking supply shop or major supermarket in S'pore.
ok.. noted.. and can I ask u a question.. sometimes when i bake cake rite.. certain parts of my cake come out to be sticky... looks uncooked but actually cooked..
ReplyDeleteMine is a normal small over with no upper and lower fan..
Hi Linlin,
ReplyDeleteMy oven is also without fan.
Do you mean there is one layer of "kueh-like" texture in your cake? I do get something like that when I first started baking, I am not very sure of the reason too. It could be due to beating of egg, folding of flour or even oven tempresure....It's very hard to troubleshoot without seeing the whole process.
I suggest you learn from cake making demo videos, there are many in Youtube. And if you are interested in baking, you may read more from this site www.baking911.com. You can learn how baking work from this site, very informative, I learn my baking basics from this website.
Happy baking and never give up! :)
