Banana Bundt Cake

Overriped bananas and fruits piled up fast in the fridge. Like the chinese saying goes 'ngan foud tho chak' - the eye is bigger than the stomach, I will buy in abundance and can't catch up with the eating. So....., being as frugal as i am, will have to turn them into something delicious.

Hi Lily,

I guess not. I was too busy chatting (hahaha!) I did have a feast at the birthday though, and you are a wonderful cook and host. Thanks again!

Hello from a fellow Rooster :)

Just discovered your blog today (I typed "salt fish pork belly" into Google) - very inspirational. I'm still learning how to cook Malaysian food in the US (just moved here one year ago).

Will keep visiting. Keep up the good work!

bundt is the name of the cake pan which has groves that make the design. you can still make this cake using the ordinary cake pan, loaf pan and muffin tins

hi there, just wondering the bundt pan size you used? can u help me convert in cups the cake flour? thanks

Unknown said...

anonymous

the bundt pan is 10 cups and 12 1/2 ozs of flour should be 2 1/2 cups.

Anonymous said...

i make the cake yesterday but it wasn't a success. i guess the temperature matters! i used convection oven at 165 celsius?! or maybe my converstion in grams! help...

phcas said...

I made this yesterday and it was very good, even though I might have messed up with the measurements a bit as I am used to the metric measurements. I used an online conversion tool when I realized that the measuring cup I had was not the american cup.

Happy New Year 2009.
I have tried this banana bundt cake last night, using a normal baking pan. I didn't put the dessicated coconut and walnut, and I subsituted the sour cream with ordinary milk plus lemon juice. The cake still taste good, a bit more moisture than the banana chiffon cake. Thank you for so many lovely recipes.

Hi Lily,

If I use a normal cake pan, what should the diameter be?
What frosting would you recommend for this cake? I was thinking of using this as a birthday cake for a friend next month if I like the taste of it on my first experiment =)

I've been a dedicated supporter of your blog and love all the recipes that I've tried so far. THANK YOU!

a 9 or 10 inch round cake pan with higher sides should be fine.

Hi Lily,

Sorry I have a question again. What is considered "sieved pulp of 2 ripe peaches"? Can I replace with chopped canned peaches instead?

Claris

Unknown said...

claris

yes, you can use canned peaches - mashed them and they are good to go. Just give an estimate as to how much 2 peaches will be - it could be 1/2 - 1 cup.
