Thanks!!
thanks aunty yochana!! i'm going to try this tonight!
My favourite baking aunty!
Thank you for sharing the delicious recipe! I can't wait to try it. I'll share you a cafe craze going on in Sydney: they slice banana bread 1" thick and put it on a sandwich press to toast both sides, then smeared with butter. Try it! I'm hooked and surely you will be too!
happy christmas!
Hi Jen,
I bought a sandwich press from Oz and i love it. I don't know whether we have banana bread here. Before pressing , do they butter it first? or butter it after they are toasted?
sounds delish man...

aunty.
i plan to make this today as i have a few ripe bananas. but, i don't have self raising flour, can i replace it with all purpose and add in baking powder? but i'm not sure of the measurement.
thank you so much.

hi lin,
just add in a tsp of baking powder will do.

Hello Aunty,
They call it banana bread (shape of a loaf) but it's essentially a banana cake. They use either the plain or with lines sandwich press, and grill/toast it until it's golden brown and crunchy on both sides. But don't flatten it thinner at all. I believe they smear it with butter afterwards, bec the bread or cake has butter in it anyway.
Love my sandwich press too - great with foccacias (smoked salmon/avocado/sundried tom) or a simple ham & cheese on sliced white!
merry christmas!

Hi Aunty,
I finally tried this recipe of yours last night. I did not have enough 1 1/4 cup mashed overripe banana as stated in your recipe only 1 cup. So I apportioned the butter, sugar and SRF to 80% of your recipe. Am I correct in doing so? My cake turn out to be moist and flakey but taste fine just difficult for cutting. And while baking after 20 mins the centre of the cake actually flatten. Where did I go wrong?
Aunty, one more question. What is the difference between vanilla essence and vanilla flavour?
Hi Pooh Sim
There are many factors to it. Are your ingredients are room temperature? Perhaps your oven temp is not accurate or your weighing of the ingredients is inaccurate or it could be due to the size of the cake tin.

Hi Aunty,
Can I bake this in a loaf pan? Which size should I use, I have 1 20x11x11cm and the other 9x5x3inches.
Thanks for your advise.
Irene
Hi Auntie Lucy,
Thank you for this Ah Mei banana cake recipe! I tried it last nite, it came out very crumbly though, and the middle sank and broke off when i cut it, but the taste is so good and moist! I'll be baking this till I get a not so crumbly texture. Thank you auntie Lucy!
Aunty, Any idea how to Mix our own self raising flour if we're running out of that ?
I've been trying to mix my own but I failed my banana cake...
I mix 1 tsp of BP for every 120 of flour. is that correct?
Thanks
Stephy
How many grams is 1 1/4 cup mashed overripe banana? Or what kind of cup do you use?
