Whole Wheat Banana Cake (Creaming Method)

Pin It Now!

I have some ripen banana in my kitchen. Immediately I think off baking banana cake. This time I choose recipe from one of my favourite recipe books-阿芳老师3杯面粉. The interesting about this book is all the recipes are based on 3 cups flours. It contains recipes like steamed bun, bread, Chinese pastry and cake. Ingredients used are simple and the methods are easy to follow. I still have lots of recipes to try on. For this time I’m going to share recipe on this banana cake.

I half the recipe with minor changes. I replaced portion of flour with whole wheat and used ground brown flaxseed as well. Although the texture is not crumbly soft (with the used of whole wheat) it still great as butter cake. It is firmer and yet moist and packed with banana flavour. Definitely is great as breakfast and snack at any time!
