Banana Cake
Growing up in Banana Republic, we all have our childhood memories of banana eating. From Banana que to banana con hielo or just simply eating fresh sweet bananas. This is one way to cook your overripe bananas, transform them into a delicious loaf bread cake.
Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
1 pack of baking powder (about 1 tsp)
a pinch of salt
50 g of butter
3 eggs
3/4 cups brown sugar
about 4 large over ripe bananas
Procedure:
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, mix together butter and brown sugar until it becomes creamy. Fold in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture. Put batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake for about an hour at 180°C until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack

i was reading the response to your banana cake,it seem to me that in the ingredient list there is no liquid involve also the amount of butter is only 50g thats why the cake will become dry, but other than that it seems easy to make. thank you

Try substituting lard in place of butter to make it more moist. my secret ingredient to making delectable moist banana cake is cooking oil. I put 3/4cups of cooking oil in place of the butter. Just remember, the more moisture you want in your cake, the greasier it is.

you forgot the nliquid in this recipe?

Hi well somw pretty sharp comments on this. As an Englishman I make banana cake on a regular basis using a similar recipe. If your cake was too dry you cooked too quick. there is plenty of liquid in the eggs and the banana. cook slowly till it firms up and only in the last 10 mins or so increase the temp to do the final cook.

September 13th, 2010 at 3:45 am
I found a similar recipe. You can add 2 beaten eggs to make it moist.

hey guys, if you post a comment in english make sure you know how to put
it right, everybody in the internet world is reading it. . might as well
write it in tagalog. don’t embarrash your fellow filipino.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:26 am
well,at least they tried to express themselves and write it in english though yes kind of embarassing.
Anyway, for the recipe one can opt to add milk.
December 13th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
@joy – kabayan, just leave her at least she tried,
how ’bout you? embarrash???or embarass,
we are sharing of comments here, don’t mind the grammar, actually its you embarassing your kababayan.be nice:) /m\ peace

if u want moist banana cake u can add 125 ml.joghurt
January 3rd, 2011 at 11:52 am
to joy:
wag kang ma-EMBARRASH.. im sure you meant ‘embarrass’..
That’s exactly my point. wala namang masama kung mag-english sila, kasi nagkakaintindihan naman e kahit papano.. yes, walang masama sa pagtaTagalog since it’s our own language but like what u said, nasa internet world tayo so other people are able to read what we’re writing. we are also trying to showcase filipino recipes so we need to make the world understand by trying to use the universal language which is english. ang point naman ng language ay magkaintindihan, di ba?..no need to be perfect when it comes to language.. kapag ung mga foreigners nagpipilit magtagalog tuwang tuwa tayo at iniencourage pa natin sila.. pero kapag kapwa natin Filipinos ang nagttry mag-english, kinakahiya natin..what’s with the double standard? you should encourage them to learn and be better, not bash them. Hindi naman dapat pagalingan when it comes to language, db? Ang point ng language ay para makipagcommunicate. if you’re really embarrassed with other people’s wrong grammar, then the right thing to do is to teach them, not put them down.

add 2 large eggs. Use half cup oil and half cup water. Add 1tsp baking soda. Mix all dry ingredients then the liquid and mix together. No need to mash bananas. Just mix with electric mixer. Then bake in moderate heat oven.

Hi,MABUHAY mga PINOY!
I’m an aspiring baker and have tried making a banana cake. if you want your cake to be moist, you add 1cup of buttermilk. if no buttermilk is available, you can add 1 tsp of vinegar to your 1 cup of milk. talking about kitchen alternatives,,ahehehe!
January 28th, 2011 at 8:02 am
not really good!! i have a banana cake recipe better than this!!
February 27th, 2011 at 11:45 am
ang sarap:)
March 5th, 2011 at 12:29 pm
We’re sharing our experience with the recipe here. If you have nothing constructive to share, shut up! A Filipino trying her best to communicate in English, albeit defective, is nowhere as bad and embarrassing as one bashing someone over the head because she finds another’s English defective. Be kind. I think the recipe is a good one, the constructive suggestions on how to make it better are very much appreciated and worth trying.
March 11th, 2011 at 8:17 pm

Harsh naman nang mga tao rito. To think, another national have noticed it. Grammatically incorrective, yes, but she tried her best and Dont keep for yourself what better result out from your ingredients and experiment. This is what is all about SHARING. Criticize, but with LOVE.

October 13th, 2011 at 1:38 pm
if you want to learn more about baking techniques, try to enroll in Baking Center (try at PAFMIL Baking Center).. There, they will teach you technically about what ingredients to use and its function..
October 17th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
to Lee: well ang masasabi ko lng is hindi ka lng kc marunong gumawa kc po nung gumawa kami “its not dry, very tasty and lastly it was never nasty…”
October 20th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
bitaw kun mu criticize tarungon gyud ug ayu ang grammar hahah bisaya ang tag iya ini nga page? nalingaw ko
October 31st, 2011 at 9:56 pm
I tried this recipe but it ended up a disaster because it was too dry and he cake didn’t even rise, it just stayed flat. I wasted 2 batches of the entire ingredients because I was planning to make 2 cakes. Lesson learned: don’t believe everything you see on the internet.
November 1st, 2011 at 5:30 pm
hay naku…. naki share na ngakayu kasi hindi nyo alam… nang insulto pa kayo. kahiya naman…. walang ganyanan please……………
November 7th, 2011 at 8:08 am
i guess the procedures were just really brief. i suggest you can explain it more
November 26th, 2011 at 4:44 am
Mabuhay ang Pinoy! If one knows how to bake, she will surely do one good recipe and make changes the next time depending on the outcome.. there is always a big room for improvement and it’s nothing to be disappointed of cos in baking it’s always the joy in doing it that matters.^_^ After baking a recipe many times, then you might just hit it to perfection. but then, if it is your first time to bake, I bet you have so many experimentations to make before you can really be proud of your work. As for myself, I am comparing one recipe with another and later on, I create my own recipe depending on the kind that suits my taste, there isn’t a standard that anyone is compelled to follow, anyone is free to use alternatives or changes as long as the outcome is good and tasty. For a banana cake recipe, it is better to use Cake flour as it gives more moisture to the cake. You may also add evaporated milk and vanilla for more flavor. If you opt to make the cake spongy, separate the eggyolks from the white. Use the yolks in the cake mixture or batter. Beat the eggwhites ’til it becomes stiff and mix the batter to it using the cut and fold method. It’s a bit complicated but nevertheless more useful esp when trying to serve more guests. So the choice lies on the baker. Just be free and happy— whether the baked product is super lovely or looks burnt, the happiness to have created one is the thing that matters most.
