Remarks:
The last time which I have baked something was about 2 months ago! What preposterous move by a self-confessed fan of baking! Fortunately I didn't lose my professional touch in messing around with recipes and coming up with something new! This time, it was yummy banana cake swirled with thick gooey nutella!
From the looks of my mediocre photos, the chocolatey spread was nowhere swirled into the cake but on top, which turned out to be not bad afterall since that created a crispy crust. Of course, this is no valid excuse for neglecting my swirling technique! A good marbled cake deserves to be marbled well! I'll have to work harder for that!
For a cake that utilises oil instead of butter, this one proved to be outstanding in terms of fluffiness and moisture! Be sure to use over-riped plantian bananas and this cake's a definite keeper!
In view of the fact that my exams are just around the corner which translates to lesser time for my self-development, I have decided to have a mini commitment plan for my favourite hobby: For every half a module covered, I shall make time for baking an item, and this is on top of any other casual baking attempts! Now, back to my study plan, I can't wait to complete studying for all my modules!
A flurry of fun and taste:
