BANANA DREAM CAKE


Mencari resipi kek pisang..saya terjumpa resipi ini...sungguh sedap..lembap...lembut dan memuaskan. Resipi ini menggunakan applesauce. Secara tidak langsung saya terpaksa berlajar membuat applesauce sendiri kerana tidak ada ready applesauce yang saya jumpai.

Applesauce digunakan dalam resipi ini untuk mengekalkan kelembapanya. Dari kajian yang saya buat..applesauce adalah gantian minyak yang sihat untuk kek ini. Resipi ini menggunakan cheese frosting sama frosting yang digunakan untuk carrot kek. menambahkan keenakan pada frostingnya saya taburkan serbuk kayu manis. Ini bukan sahaja menambahkan keenakan malah menaikkan aromanya.

Banana Dream Cake
 
Ingredients
For the cake:

3/4 cup butter
2 1/8 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
4 oz applesauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup mashed over ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)

For the frosting:
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 (12 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
5 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon, for sprinkling

Directions:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 8-inch round cake pans. In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with lemon juice, set aside. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla, sour cream and applesauce. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in banana mixture.

Divide batter (about 2 1/2 cup batter in each pan) into prepared pans. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove pans from oven and immediately place in freezer for 45 minutes. (This keeps the cake moist by immediately stopping the baking so the cake does not continue to bake when you remove it form the oven.)

For the frosting: In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Add confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high until frosting is smooth. Assemble the 3 layers with a thick layer of frosting in between each layer. Then apply a thin crumb coat on the top and sides. Pop back in the freezer to harden the crumb coat for about 10 minutes. Then apply a thick even layer around the outside of the cake. Sprinkle on a little cinnamon around the outside and store in the fridge until ready to serve
