LET'S GO BANANAssssss

 

a good friend of mine (from my office) loves cakes.. hmm.. desserts is more like it.. so, when she found out i can bake, she requested for orange cakes, banana cakes, carrot cakes.. i love it when she makes a request.. it means, i can bake, try out recipes & my skills, and i dont have to eat the cake all by myself.. i guess that's what any bakers go thru.. rasa bersalah tau makan kek banyak2 sorang2.. nnti gain weight, susah nak turun balik.. huhu..

 

anyways.. this time around, i baked Banana Cake with Choc Chips.. here, i'll share the recipe. it's so simple, that i dont need a mixer for this recipe and it works.. fluffy.. gebus gebas i alway say.. :-)

i also baked for a friend whose been invited to open a booth during 1 of Le Tour D Langkawi on 2 March 2014. i baked 7 trays of brownies for her to bring to the event. gosh! 7 brownies in 1 nite.. i really need another oven.. i ended up sleeping at 3 am as i only started baking at 8pm (after coming home from work). i was worn out, of course.. anyways, i hoped everyone enjoyed the brownies..
