Chocolate-Bottom Banana Square

Chocolate-Bottom Banana Square

This is another popular cake among bloggers...



Chocolate-Bottom Banana Square



Nothing will goes wrong when chocolate and banana added together, a very soft, moist and flavourful cake. When talk about the cake texture, i don't really appreciate it as I find it was too soft (Chinese better describe this -软绵绵), maybe due to i changed a bit of the recipe.

Same here I couldn't leave comment from yesterday noon time till this morning. Blogger comment system seems not stable recently.

You cake looks very yummy! Same like you actually I prefer more "sturctured" cake than those 软绵绵cake。

Perhaps you want to replace cake flour with plain flour? I find that sometimes using cake flour is not nessarily yield a nicer cake than normal plain flour. The low gluten may make the cake texture too "soggy".

I made another version of this using "muffin method", recipe can be found in my blog. You may want to give it a try.

kitchen flavours said...

Your cake looks yummy! If you do not like the very soft texture, try replacing cake flour with all-purpose flour. I usually use our local plain flour. Hope this helps.
So far, no problem with the blogger comments, not since two weeks ago!
Have a nice day!

WendyinKK said...

There's no problem with me commenting on other's blogs.
I think plain flour might give you the texture, but then, bakes with banana and baking soda are always very soft.
