hi Aunty,
hv taken a closer look at the photos, the upper layer is cake like texture, the lower layer consists of all bananas.. is that right?

Hi fei fei,
It's supposed to be mixed instead of being separated. I think my eggs are too big so the batter is too light for the bananas.

Dear Aunty Yochana,
Can you tell me where did you purchase the pie dish used in the banana chocolate pie. I went to Phoon Huat, but they do not have 2 inch height for loose base pie dish. The max height is only 1" for loose base.
Thanks a lot.
Regards

Hi Dawn,
I bought the high one from Chong Trading at Adelphi, Coleman Street.
If you use the short one which is about 1" high, cut down the recipe to half..

Hello Aunty Yochana,
Is the size of the cake tin crucial in this recipe? Can i use a 9" springform tin instead?
Hi little noodle,
yes you can use a springform tin. no problem.
