That was rhetorical. Why are you answering?

*Ahem* Let's say you have some seriously ripe bananas.
You could make a pedestrian banana bread with them. (Note: not the kind of pedestrian that walks. That word does have more than one definition, you know.)
Or you could mix up all of these lovely ingredients and make a banana cake.
It really is preferable to the bread option. I'm not just saying it to be contrary.
The particular recipe that I linked to above has a strange step that involves serious freezer time immediately after baking.
It somehow makes the cake more moist and delicious. (It's like tasting the extra egg!) I haven't had the time to explore the science behind it, I just know that it works.

Banana cake usually has a cream cheese frosting. That's all well and good but, honestly, a chocolate frosting is much, much better. (I'm not advocating Hershy's cocoa. Use whatever kind you have at hand. I am championing that recipe, however, as it is the bomb diggity flip flappity jack.)(heh heh heh)
(baking notes: subbed 2% milk for buttermilk, recipe was thirded (heh))

ReplyDeleteWho has time for science when there's cake involved?
