This recipe I adapted from cookbook by chef Hanieliza with a little adjustment on the banana cake ingredients.The texture is wonderfully soft, moist and fluffy. Very easy cake to make, I guess. Since bananas go so well with chocolate, so I decided to make chocolate sauce and drizzle on top of the cake and sprinkle it with icing sugar.. and the result was yummy yum yum cake but the cake design was terrible. I think it's time for me to attend cake designing class to get some basic knowledge.
