Banana cake is not the only solution to salvaging over ripen babana. Mashed banana can be added to a yeast bread to bake a soft, moist and slightly dense yeast bread. Chocolate flakes from a pure dark chocolate bar also lend a nice faint chocolate taste to the bread :)

Hello!
ReplyDeleteMay I know if there's any options instead of top flour cos I don't have it .. Thanks
Hi Nancy, you can either use 25g of cake flour or bread flour. That means you can use a total quantity of 250g of bread flour in this recipe :)
DeleteIs it possible to replace condense milk with something else?
ReplyDeleteYou can try replacing it by 10g each of milk and sugar ^^
DeleteHi..can i ask for step 11, do i shape the flatten dough into ball and then flatten the ball and roll it up like swissroll?
ReplyDeleteHi Karrine, after dividing the dough into 4 portions,
Deletefirst roll up the smaller portion like Swiss roll,
fold half so the two ends touching each other, finally shape it into ball shape :)
