banana cake with ice cream

Okies... my next experiment.....

A wonderfully gooooey banana cake with home made ice cream...

Everybody loved it and so did i...

But ya as usual my dad would have preffered something more crispy and definately not sweet but none the less he liked this too...

Now for the recipe.

150 gms Refined Flour(Maida)

5 gms Baking soda

3gms Salt

40gms Unsalted Butter

100gms Sugar(powdered)

1 Egg

2 Bananas- More the ripe the better

50 ml Milk

20gms Chopped Walnuts

A few drops of vanilla Essence

Iccceeeeeeeeee Creeeeeeeeeammmmmmm

Preheat oven till 175 degree C

Whisk together all the dry ingredients other than the sugar and the walnuts. and keep aside

Cream buter and sugar till light and fluffy(thats the way our chef taught us.... always LIGHT AND FLUFFY)

Mash the bananas well. and keep aside.

Seperate the egg white and yolk. Now beat in the yolk and the banana mixture and a few drops of vanilla essence.- why essence cause the bloody egg stinks.

Now add flour alternating with the milk. Making sure there are no lumps-cause lumps of flour taste like......... i really dunno wat but pathetic.

Dust the walnuts with a lil flour and mix in.- why dust cause if u dont they will all settle at the bottom of the darn batter.

Now beat the white to a soft peak- wats that???? well use a spring beater and whip it till the moment when u lift the beater, peaks are formed but they are not strong enough to hold themselves pointed straight.

now fold this beaten white into the batter with light hands- basically u're incorporating loads of air into your batter which makes your cake nice and soft.

well now put it into a greased baking dish and bake it for 40 mins or till a knife inserted right at the centre comes out nice and clean.

Invert onto a wire rack and allow to cool.

Cut only when cooled... or u'll have nothing but sweet banana tasting mess.

Enjow warmed with a scoop of ice cream and choc sauce.
