Banana Bread vs Banana Cake
Whos knows the difference, I mean
really? Seriously there is nothing
‘bread’ about banana bread except that its cooked as a loaf and sliced and
often toasted like bread, and delicious with butter. But really, in my opinion its cake baked as a
loaf….
Anyway, what happened to banana cake?
Everyone stopped eating it, cafes stopped selling it, and along came the reign
of the banana bread. Well, Im here to
say its over. See ya later banana bread
your time is done, and welcome back banana cake. And what better way to welcome it back that
with my very own 35 second cake batter recipe.
Guaranteed deliciousness!!!
And just incase you’re not done yet, ill
include my banana bread recipe too :O)

Michelle’s Banana Bread/ Banana cake LOAF!
200g Light Brown sugar
2 eggs
200g bananas peeled weight (approx. 2),
broken roughly into quarters
280g Plain Flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 finger pinch of salt
1tsp bi carb soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger powder
140g unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 170, or 160 fan forced.
Place butter into TM bowl and melt on
37degrees, speed 1 until fully melted.
Remove to a separate bowl.
Now insert whisk and add to TM bowl the
eggs and sugar.
Beat on speed 2 for 1 minute.
Add bananas through hole in the lid and
beat for 30 seconds on speed 3.
Add all dry ingredients and mix speed 1 for
20 seconds.
Pour in melted butter and mix a further 20
seconds on speed 1.
Scrape into a baking paper lined load tin
and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean.
Allow to cool to room temp, remove from tin
and continue to cool in the fridge.
When cool, slice and eat either cool or
toasted, both ways are nice lathered in butter.
Suggestion,
To change up the flavours, remove ginger
and replace with mixed spice.
Banana can also be replaced with blue
berries for a blueberry loaf, in which case I would leave out the spices and
add a tsp of vanilla essence or a scaped vanilla bean. I would also sprinkle
some berries into the tin before adding the batter, so they end up on the top
of the loaf once cooked.
