Banana Cake

Cake Ingredients:

125g butter, 175g sugar, 2 eggs, 2 soft and mashed banana's, 1 tsp bic. soda, 2 tbsp boiling milk, 1 tsp baking powder and 225g flour.

Cream the butter & sugar, add eggs and mashed banana's and set aside.

Bring milk to boil and add bic. soda and add it to the creamed butter/sugar mix.

Add flour and baking powder, mix all, and pour in the cake tin. Bake on 180 C for 20 min. Cut the cake through the middle horizontally and fill with cream and sliced banana.

Icing:

50g butter, 1/4 cup of cream cheese, 1/4 tsp vanilla essence, 1 cup of icing sugar and juice of 1 lemon.

Mix all ingredients together and ice the cake on top, I also use icing in the middle of the cake instead of cream as an alternative to cream.

And here is now why I am not making this cake. We are living in Perth and due to the flood or cyclone in Australia the prices of bananas are huge!!!

So here is the photo of how much you have to pay minimum for bananas in Perth $12-18 or 9-14 Euros!!

No cake for us!!

Making No-Knead Bread

This is my favourite way of making bread. Its very simple, and reminds me of when I was a kid and my grandmother would bake them in the outside oven (pizza oven) and always make 6-10 at a time. The bread is soft and moist inside but crusty on the outside. You can see on the video what they use, but I just adjusted the recipe to my conditions and I just baked it in a normal pot with a lid. Here on the photo you can see my bread.
