a belated Foodie Friday post

Sorry it's a day late. I kinda forgot. Oops.


Today I will be sharing a recipe for Banana cake. It's actually called "Best Banana Cake Ever" and to be honest it wasn't the best that I have ever had. It wasn't sweet enough. I guess that is why they had Cream Cheese Frosting with it. I didn't because Stuart isn't a fan. So I made White Chocolate Frosting instead and it was superb.




I made too much batter so I made muffins with the rest of it. The muffins looked really bad (again they were deformed - why is that? A few looked like they were trying to crawl out of the muffin tray!) so I had to cover them up with the frosting and I must say it did the job for some of them. The picture above is obviously one of the best ones.


If you do decide to try this out please let me know. I would love to know how it turned out. Mainly because I want to get to the bottom of my deformed cakes! What am I doing wrong?


Enjoy!

  1. As long as they taste all right, then who cares how they look! :) Haha. I don't like cream cheese frosting either! And I'm one of the few people who don't like cheesecake. Gross!

    Still they werent perfect but they tasted ok!! This one was mascerpone and icing sugar frosting. Mascerpone is far nicer than cream cheese but is still a creamy cheese..
