banana steam (cup)cake (20 pieces)

Hello to myself again.

Have been busy (or lazy) to update this space. School has been disrupting some of my nua-ing regime, but hey I am still alive to make some banana steam cakes this afternoon. :)

As I love steam cakes (some of them are really kawaii!), I picked up a recipe book from NTUC some time ago. Not to mention, I recently bought an Aerogaz cake stand mixer. less than $30 on Qoo10!

Recipe extracted from page 51, Magic Steamed Cake by Alex Goh:

Ingredients:
A
3 eggs
160g sugar

B
250g bananas
1/4 teaspoon salt

C
50g milk
240g flour
2 teaspoons double action baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

D
90g corn oil
180g sultanas [I added chocolate chips instead..]

Method
1. Whip A until thick. Mash B, add into A, whip until thick.
2. Add in C, mix until well-blended. Add in D mix until well-combined.
3. Add in E, mix until well-incorporated. Add in F mix until well-blended.

4. Pour it into greased and floured cup cake mould.

Masak-thoughts:
I actually forgot to add the oil..which caused the cake to be really dry. I tried to search high and low for ripe bananas (for a sweeter taste) but to no avail too :(
Nevertheless, still edible and I'm quite pleased with the appearance of these cutie cakes.
Time for tea!
