Childhood favorite snack. Easy to assemble the ingredients. Fraction or less than what ya kun is offering.

Followed all except I used butter. Love the butter smell in all cakes.
For using mould, I add half batter into the wells and drop dollops of *Kaya in. Cover up to fill the Wells. Cover the tip mould and wait till cooked.
*For added taste, add desired jam/nutella/Kaya in half filled batter.

Moist Bana Chocolate Cake

Been a long time since I made this personal favorite. I have better results using rice cooker than oven. Sometimes getting an atas oven doesn't do justice to my hard worked batter. Hehe


 I modified this recipe.(http://everybodyeatswell.blogspot.be/2014/04/rcc-challengercc-13-super-moist.html)

60g unsalted butter
150g sugar
40g unsweetened cocoa powder
125g cake flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp bicarbonate soda
150g banana flesh, mashed
1 egg plus another 1 egg white (I use small ones), beaten
120g chilled fresh milk

Method
-Double boil butter with sugar and half of the fresh chilled milk.
-Stir till butter and sugar melt.
-Remove from heat.
-Add remaining chilled milk to hot mixture so the temperature cools down and loses heat faster. (Thanks to the science concepts I always teach and thus applied them)
-Add mashed Bana to the mixture and keep stirring to lose a bit more heat.
-Mix in the beaten egg and stir well.
-Sift flour, baking powder, soda, cocoa powder into a large bowl.
-Pour wet mixture slowly and mix in with the dry ingredients till combined.
-As mentioned by Ah bee,  the batter should be runny.
-Pour batter into pot and press CAKE function.
-Remove pot when done (mine takes about 50min).
-Invert and let cool.

Review:
Shiok eh! I cut down on sugar as I wanted to taste more of the bitter cocoa. I liked the smell, taste and texture. So glossy and shiny. Sliced piece standing tall and strong! Thanks for the great recipe!

Bought a mini rice cooker and it's no brainer that I will use it to try a mini version of a cake. Decided to try a mini butter cake.

Cream melted butter with sugar.
Add the eggs.

Not bad. A tad too sweet for me. May cut down on the sugar the next try.

Cocoa Bana Cake v2

Cocoa Bana Cake Version 2!

The first try was goody! My 18mo Kai loves it and kept asking me for more! Happy mummy! Hub thinks it was not sweet but that was fine with me as I never meant it to be sweet anyway since Kai eats that. However, the cake was quite crumbly and I googled to troubleshoot. Seems need to add more oil/water.

So now, this was my 2nd version. Following the same website and method, I added my own modification.

http://www.mumsnet.com/food/recipe/1866-Easy-banana-cake

Ingredients

- 200g all purpose flour + 25g unsweetened cocoa powder(sifted)

- 100g sugar 

- 2 eggs 

- 120g butter 

- 3 bananas

- 60ml water
- 3 tsp baking powder (sifted)

Method

1. Mash bananas in your largest mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix butter with sugar until smooth, then add eggs and water.
3. Mix both mixtures together then add the flour.
4. Put in rice cooker pot and press CAKE tab. 
5. After the BEEP, remove immediately and invert on a rack to cool before slicing.

YES! The cake is not crumbly!

Cocoa Bana Cake 2!

Cocoa Bana Cake v1

Cocoa Banana Cake!

Another easy recipe for me. Saw 3 lonesome amigos (bananas) and decided to try using rice cooker again.

Actually I tried to redo my 1st chiffon cake again yesterday morning but failed. I used brown sugar and butter. Too dense. So I'm sticking back to white sugar and vco.

Hunger for cakes set in through the day and finally got to baking a cocoa bana version when the sun sets. Yippee. Worked!


original recipe:
http://www.mumsnet.com/food/recipe/1866-Easy-banana-cake

My version:
-200g all purpose flour
-25g cocoa powder (unsweetened)
-3tsp baking powder
(Sift all the above)
-100g sugar (hub says not sweet enough which is my aim as I feed this to my 18mo son)
-3 ripe banas (del monte), mashed
-2 eggs
- 115g butter

steps:
-melt butter and set aside to cool.
-whisk eggs together with sugar
-add mashed banas and mix
-add butter and mix
-add sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder slowly and mix
-do not overmix. Leave it lumpy.
-texture may seem dry but once baked it's not an issue.
-pour into rice cooker pot and press CAKE tab.
-remove once done.
-invert and let cool.
-slice and eat! :)
