Weekend Baking Session # 22

I go bananas with anything made of bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. Energy is not the only way a banana can help us keep fit.




It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. Banana gets rid of depression, PMS, anemia, lowers blood pressure, constipation, hangover, heartburn, morning sickness, prevents mosquito bites, help calm the nervous system and many more.

Banana Butter Cake

What do we need:

1 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup mashed very ripe banana
1 egg

How do we do it:

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Stir in the mashed banana. Fold in the sifted flour mixture.

Pour batter into a greased and lined loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180° C for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Anonymous said...

Hi,
Would, sorry if the question sounds silly, is baking soda soda bicarb?
You said to sift flour w baking powder and salt, hw much salt?

Unknown said...

Anonymous- If the bananas are not ripe, just wait until they are ripe.

Anonymous- Baking soda & Bicarbonate soda are the same. I've amended the amount of salt need. Thanx for highlighting.

Some of these eggs get developed, with help of the follicle stimulating hormones (FSH). As these nerves in the round ligaments are subjected to undue pressure, they might get compressed and cause discomfort. No matter how you do it, good luck as you try to get pregnant fast!
