Banana Cake Madness

After tasting this delicious banana cake that Yiling & John brought from JB for us, it has been in my to-do list to attempt to recreate what I had. Browsed through multiple recipes but none seem to give the result I want, until I saw this one at my baking group... and I tried it... and it is AMAZING!!!




Recipe altered & adapted from Richard Goh Baking Class Stage 1 from Wen's Delight Page:

Ingredients:
2.5-3 Eggs (Room temp - Approx 150g)
130g Sugar (Reduced, original-150g) ( I used 70g White sugar and 60g brown sugar)
200g Banana (Ripe & cut into small pcs)
150g Top Flour (or plain flour/superlite flour/cake flour)
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking soda
100g Corn oil (or any vegetable oil except olive oil, if prefer richer flavour replace with melted butter but it may cover the banana fragrant)
1/8 tsp Banana essense (optional)

Method:Preheat oven to 160 degree C.
Grease & line a 8" round tin with paper.
1. Sieve flour, baking powder & soda together. Sieve twice & set aside.
2. Whisk eggs, sugar & banana at max. speed till stiff/ribbon stage. (For Kenwood Chef - approx 10-13mins)
3. Fold in flour & mix well. (Can use spatula or hand to mix)
4. Add in oil & mix well till batter is shiny & flowing.
5. Bake for 40 - 45mins.
