The Banana Bread

We always have bananas in the house. Every once in a while, there will be over ripe bananas. They are like with lots of black spots and I will then think of things to do with them. Either banana bread, puddings or cakes.

I really don’t know the difference between banana breads and cakes. Some say they are the same. This version is slightly ‘harder’ and resembles more like bread than cake. The batter is also firmer compared to the cake versions.

I added some yohurt into the batter because we have 1/4 cup left from Mimi, our girl cat’s birthday. Yup, Daughter Who bought a can of yoghurt as a celebration for her. She turned two, and it was supposed to be a treat.

Here’s how she looks like:

The flavour for this banana bread is really good. However, I fouled up on the cake because while it was creaming the butter and sugar, I dropped half an egg shelf into the thermomix! I had thought I’d liquidize the shell, to no success.

So, I ended up heating up the batter so that the cream and egg melt and then strain the mixture before continuing with the process. In the end, it is far less aerated than it should be. Lesson learned: Never crack and egg over the thermomix.
