Finally used my 6 sad bananas sitting dejected at the corner in my fridge.
I decided to try a recipe I'm not familiar with, cos I have been baking banana cakes before and I totally love my mum's recipe, but it's time to try something different. I tried Dorie Greenspan's banana bundt cake. It has rave reviews, so I gave this a try.
Did I love it? Well. Despite claims that it is the best banana cake recipe ever, I still prefer my mum's recipe. That is da bomb!!
Ingredients (what I tweaked it to)
250g butter
350g cake flour
250g plain flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp bicarbonate soda
3 eggs
250ml sour cream
6 medium bananas, mashed
2 tsp vanilla essence
And this is after I reduced 100g of flour! Can you imagine what would have happened if I added that in!
The house was filled with such fragrant banana aroma while the cake was baking! Such a delight. And when it was baked, the crust on top was amazing. But not so for the cake itself, though. True, it is full of banana aroma, but not my kinda banana cake. It is really moist and fluffy and good though.
Okay! Am offloading this to my brother tomorrow! HAHA.
***
So after the cake has been left overnight the flavours and moisture improved! Yup this recipe is not bad at all. I think it would make perfect banana muffins!
And yes my brother has been eating this a lot :)

250ml sour cream
6 medium bananas, mashed
2 tsp vanilla essence
- Cream butter and sugar together. I was lazy to take out my mixer so I mixed by hand instead. It is tiring mixing that much ingredients!!
- Add in eggs one at a time, mixing for about a minute before adding in the next egg. Add in vanilla essence and mix.
- Add in mashed bananas and mix.
- Add half of the dry ingredients (flours, bicarb soda), mix, then sour cream, mix, then the remaining dry ingredients.
- Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 70 minutes.
