No Egg No Butter Chocolate Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Sometimes my choice of recipes are made because of lack of ingredients, like this no egg no butter chocolate banana cake. While I do have butter, I ran out of eggs. So I ended up baking a rather healthy cake that's worth making again! Original recipe here, and my tweaks below.

No Egg No Butter Chocolate Banana Cake

2 cups flour, sifted
1 1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup oil
4 large bananas, mashed

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Grease and flour an 8 (9 also can) inch pan and set aside.
Mash the bananas in a bowl.
Sieve flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, add the hot water, apple cider vinegar, oil to the sugar and melt the sugar completely. Add the banana puree and mix.
Add the flour mixture and mix well. Don't overmix.
Pour into baking tin and bake for 50 minutes.

I made some simple cream cheese frosting (250g cream cheese + 100g butter + 3 cups icing sugar) to pipe on the cake and brought over for a family gathering. The cake comes out moist and not too chocolaty. I somehow have figured how cakes without eggs taste like, while they are moist, the cake has this distinct taste which is more crispy and sweet and if there's eggs it's more lemak.

Princess helped with the sprinkles and posed for a photo of course.

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
