Eggless Banana cake!

I having cravings for banana since last week! hmm, and i have finally managed to grab a bunch from the supermart this morning.. =) I have gotten this recipe from the professional baking book.. and made some changes to it as i do not have any more eggs!!! Due to this, my confidence level of baking a banana cake w/o egg successfully wasn't on the upswing.. well, I read up from the 'common subsitutions' column that i could replace an egg with an extra teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 pc of mashed banana.. hehhee.. and i would like to humbly declare that i m sooooo SATISFIED with the outcome!!! Its so yummmie that i think i'm able to finish everything just by myself!! But of cos wont be performing such a self-destructive act as i will be having my bridal shoot on 20th!!! hehehe.. it's really very delicious and i m definately amazed of the outcome despite the easy ingredients used!


Ingredients:
Makes a 9 by 3 inch tin.

60g unsalted butter, melted
250g cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 mashed bananas
125ml skim milk
100g brown sugar

Method:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180degC (350 degF).
  2. Place butter into a plastic bag (similar to ziplockbag) and roll over using a rolling pin several times. It really helps to melt butter faster =] - i am just too lazy to melt it over a heated pan.. hahaa...
  3. Sieve together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl.
  4. Make a well in the centre.
  5. Place melted butter, milk and sugar and mix (with a manual whisk) until thoroughly well blended and then add on the mashed banana.
  6. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture. With the spatula, gently fold all the ingredients to form a wet batter. Just mix until the flour are incorporate into the batter. The batter will appear lumpy.
  7. Place greasing paper over the tin, and pour in the mixture. Bake for 50mins until top of the cake turn golden brown and then insert the skewer into the centre - it should comes out clean.
  8. Let cool on a wire rack and serve.
