Hi!Long time.I know.Haven't baked for a long time.Decided to do so today and since we have gotten rid of our intermittent internet connection I decided to blog this recipe too.
The recipe I am sharing with you today is Banana bread.It is actually a cake but since the recipe calls it bread I shall do so too.I had a slice of it at a cafe ,slightly warm with a generous sprinkling of brown sugar.When eaten in the right company,it is pure heaven.Anyways the single slice was way too expensive and did not look like something which could not be replicated.So I tried this recipe which I modified slightly and ,since it came out better than the slice I paid through my nose for ,I decided to share it with you all.
So here it goes:
BANANA BREAD
Ingredients
All purpose flour 2 cups Brown Sugar 3/4 cups
baking soda 1 tsp eggs beaten 2
salt 1/4 tsp mashed ripe bananas 2 1/3 cups
butter 1/2 cup vanilla essence 1 tsp
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
- Grease approx 9by 5 inch loaf tin.
- Sieve together flour,baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl cream butter and sugar.
- Stir in well beaten eggs , mashed bananas and essence.
- Fold the flour mixture into this well beaten mixture.
- Pour the batter in the prepared tin.
- Bake for an hour or until done.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Serve slices with a generous sprinkling of brown sugar.
NOTE-
- I have used castor sugar since the brown sugar is a luxurious thing in this part of the world
- It took me a lot of explaining for the all purpose flour too so I have used normal flour with 2 tsps of baking powder.
Hope you will try this recipe and if you do kindly let me know how it turned out and what you thought of it . Your feedback is very important to me .
Happy cooking.
P.S.Kindly ignore the bad kitchen.I am living with it. Have no choice .
