How lucky Malaysians are with so many types of bananas to choose from. The unforgetable Rastali and Pisang Emas are a must to eat when you are in Malaysia. Pisang Emas is more friendly than Rastali, which is best eaten when it is perfectly ripened. Here in the States, bananas in the regular supermarkets are of the 'Sweet William/Cavendish' variety - one and only - no choice. But, now and then, Baby Bananas which is Pisang Emas is being sold. When i see them on the shelf, i will not hesitate to get a bunch, no matter how much it will cost. The asian stores in Chinatown Denver, do sell Baby Bananas, but they don't seem to look good at all. I have always wondered if there is a difference in the taste of the cake made with Cavendish bananas compared to a cake made with Baby Bananas/Piisang Emars. Since i have several baby bananas which were over-riped, i decided to try out this recipe of Florence from Do What I like, and thank you Florence, this recipe is a keeper and the pisang emas does make a difference to the taste of the cake.

200g cake flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda)Friends from sea-level, use 3/4 tsp)
50g unsalted butter at room temperature

A pinch of salt

I'm been looking for moist banana cake and now I found it!! I have abunch od overripe banana and tomorrow I'm going to use it! thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite breakfast treats! I have seen so many variations of this - some with frosting/icing and some plain with chocolate chips and candied lemon peel. Either way the banana flavor is right in there.
You have seriously excited my sweet tooth, Lily. Your bread looks wonderful. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

Love banana cake! Is that your new baking pan?
these pans are from Daiso and they are very nice and cheap.
Your banana cake looks great. Reminds me I haven't bake one for long time.
I do agree with you how fortunate to get banana in malaysia. I live in a country where the banana is so expensive and limited. I couldn't waste it to bake banana cake.
Yee
Aunty, your bread looks wonderful. I love good banana bread :). Mine includes a bit of soy flour in the mix, and it makes the bread really really moist.

Hi Lily
My banana cake always turned out to be very soft, so soft that it breaks when we cut it. Need yr advice on what has gone wrong. Pls help. Thanks.

i don't know what your recipe is like, from your description, so soft that it breaks, could be not enough eggs or too much leavener.
