I am still on vacation, since I have access to internet I like to post this which I had draft early.
I have bookmarked this recipe since the day I read it in one of my book collection. The reason is this banana cake is using bread flour (high protein flour) instead of cake flour (low protein flour). I never use bread flour for the whole cake before. Therefore, I'm very curious how is the texture will turns like. At the end, the cake turns up surprisingly good! It is not dense neither dry. It is soft and moist! It has its own characteristic.

Since the batter doesn't have any cinnamon powder in it, I sprinkle some on top together with some coarse sugar. It gives slightly bites when fresh from the oven. I definitely will bake this again.

I had done some adjustment to suite my taste.
Ingredients:
60g margarine (butter)
60g castor sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
150g bread flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
150g mashed banana
35g water (milk)
50g raisin
Topping (optional)
Sprinkle with 1 tsp cinnamon powder and 1 tsp coarse sugar
Methods:
1. Beat margarine (butter), sugar and salt till soft and fluffy. Slowly add in the egg (in 3 batches). Beat till well incorporated.
2. Add in sifted flour, baking powder and baking soda. Gently stir to mix. Add in mashed banana, water and raisin before the flour well combined with the beaten margarine (butter). This time stir to well combine. Make sure do not over mix.
3. Pour the batter into greased cake mould (I'm using L23cm x W13cm x H8cm). Bake in preheated oven 180C for 25-28 minutes.
hi vivian, i'm just as curious as you are on the use of bread flour, is the texture chewy?
