Maya, your post is going to make me cry and grow frustrated, cuz I am damned until the next life because I can never bake any goods. They turn horrible and most definitely, inedible Sigh… I’m green with envy with your cake. they look very nice and beautiful and scrumptious! Looks like will go well with tea too. Sedihnya!

Mugging. Hungry. Read Post. Hungrier.

Better let me try some when I’m home.

@ Cleffairy: Oooh, then you MUST try this recipe. Me as bad too. I have not much patience for most baking (hence, I do not try to bake muffins or cookies) but this cake is really gila senang.

@ Vern: Hmmm, maybe I will bake some for you. Not comparable to your mom’s canggih punya cakes and tartlets lah.

The cake looks yummy and the recipe sounds really easy. But I need to get an oven first. So, what type of oven do you use?

Hi Domino: I use this cheap oven I got from TESCO a year ago. It’s the small box like thing – looks like a microwave. It’s about RM100. I have another easier, yummier chocolate recipe to share later…just made it a few days ago. It was such a success I could not believe it!

Tesco atau Teso Extra ? What brand ? Or maybe you can upload your oven photo in the post on your yummy Choc cake. Just want to make sure I get the correct one. Thanks!

Domino: Haha, if you really want to know the exact brand, it’s some no name like Osaki bought from Tesco Extra, Jalan Sungai Dua, Penang. I shall take a pic of my trusty but cheap oven in my next post then! Until then, hang on

Shall check it out at the store today, Thanks!

Lol I was going really well with this recipe when I realized I had no bananas
haha instead i had two Oreo packets left and some chocolate and just used that instead LOL delish.. Would of liked banana cake though

Hi Madison: Wow…what a good substitute for bananas. I will try your new recipe the next time I am out of bananas. It sounds delish as it is. Try bananas and let me know how the cake turned out ya?

May I know what size tray is used for this recipe?

Hi Violet: I used a square cake tin, 21 cm by 21 cm. Its depth is 7cm. The cake comes up to half the height, so the finished cake is around 3.5cm high and 21 cm wide. Hope this helps. I bought the cake tin from Tesco.

Hi Susin: GREAT! I love it when people get yummy results from their baking adventures. That’s why I am always so pleased if a recipe recommended by a friend goes well – because I can ‘eat’ the results. Thanks again for your feedback. I use Blue Key self raising flour too. As for butter, I use Anchor Salted butter. Pass on the recipe to others. Must share good recipes!

i wonder what banana’s you used is it beranag,tq

hello maya,may i know what banana’s you used coz i am gonna try it asap!

Hi Raji: I believe I used pisang emas. I always buy pisang emas when I am at the market. They’re sweeter and very moist if you let them ripen a bit.

wahhhh I cant believe when I typed Banana Cake, this post came out the FIRST in google and then is my FRIEND’s blog!!! Hey, thanks for the recipe… trying out for Mother’s Day….

Hoong Ling – Hey, nice to see you here. Try the recipe. It is super easy and super delicious. All my friends have tried it and they give it a thumbs up!

I just made this! It’s lovely! I added a pinch of cinnamon and it tastes great! Thanks for such a simple and tasy recipe

Rachel, I am glad to hear it turned out great. I’ve had a number of ‘independent’ testers for this recipe and everyone found it easy and simple to make, even those who consider themselves totally inadept in the kitchen. I am now testing a cream cracker cake recipe – using the steamer. Using different brands of cream crackers makes the cake taste different too.

hi I would love to try

I’ve just finished making it and it looks awesome!It’s still cooling down so I don’t know how it tastes like yet but it sure does smell good! =D

Fiona – I hope the cake tastes as good as it smells. Happy eating!

I stumbled across the recipe online. I made the cake for the first time 2 months ago according to your recipe. It as a smashing hit and i was thinking about baking it again for a long time.

I made it again today as I had riped bananas but as im on a diet i used only 1/3 of the butter, and sugar.
It was still so yummy anyways

Hi Thai: I am so pleased that the banana cake turned out well even with less butter and sugar. I try this recipe with all types of bananas – but I personally prefer the small yellow bananas with thin skins. I tried it once with another type of pisang – a pale fleshed banana – but the sweetness wasn’t as good as the small yellow type. Anyway, keep experimenting with the sugar quantity if you have riper bananas.
