My Banana Loaff~

well made banana loaf this weekend and after the disastrous attempt from the book...im sticking to my own recipe and will share it with all of you!

Ingredients:
150g of butter (you can replace with veg oil if you want)
2/3 cups of sugar
1 1/4 cups of self raising flour
3 eggs
pinch of baking powder/bicarbonate soda
2-3 super ripe bananas

mix the butter with sugar, then the eggss...whisk until fluffy
add half the flour, then the mashed bananas
add the rest of the flour and a pinch of baking powder....
bake at 180 for 40-45min

I you want...add cinnamon and nutmeg...in it as well..
and replace caster sugar with brown sugar...or muscavado sugar..

dont overmix the flour..it wouldnt rise as much
well what i do is i use an electric whisk for the butter eggs nd sugar..
then i juz use a spoon to fold in the flour

it will come out nice and fluffy....better than the other recipe :P

there you go JACKIE

NY cheesecake


Recipe 6 : NY Cheesecake

OK....sorryy i havent been blogging for awhile i..i have been too lazy to upload pictures to my com for this blog...but I have been making desserts regularly tho :)
anyway, this is my attempt at the NY cheesecake recipe from hummingbird


This was really good i have to say especially the cheesebit... however, the cheesecake base didnt come out as nice as i hoped for...its prob due to the fact that i used a pop-out round cake tin..and the recipe required you to put the cake tin in a deep roasting dish and fill it 2/3 with water...
somehow the water seeped through i think....in the end the base was soggy :(

My Verdict : 7/10
The cheeseake is delicious!!! its sooo creamyy and nice...It would have been 10 if the base wasnt soggy....but i guess it was my equipment's fault...oh well


til next time...mmmmMMMMmmmmm aaahhhhhHHHHH
