Banana Cake

Banana Cake


Banana cake was first cake we ever made in class, right after sugar cookies and chocolate brownies and this has became the recipe we reach for everytime we harvest banana from our backyard. It called for butter instead of oil so it's not greasy at all and it is light enough to qualify as a cake and not a quick bread. Love it!

Banana Cake

1/2 c. butter

1/2 c. chopped nuts
1 tbsp. vanilla

Procedure

Cream butter, add sugar gradually then the egss one at a time. Sift dry ingredients together and add it alternately to the butter mixture with the wet ingredients. Mix in the banana and nuts.

Pour batter into a greased 8x12 pan and bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes or until done.

Banana Cake


Sour milk is not usually sold in any store in the Philippines and we had to made ours by combining 1/4 cup of evaporated milk, 1/4 cup of water and 1 1/2 tsp. calamansi juice and leting it stand for a few minutes just until the milk curdled a bit.
