Quick and easy banana cake for afternoon tea.
If you are more adventurous, go further and make a banana layered cake, exactly as you see in milkbar momofuku.
Then bake in a 10 x 13 inch pan. Cut 3 circles and layer with frosting. This you can go to town and play with the different types of frosting and different toppings.
This bake is for my hubby's birthday. He wanted a banana cake not too sweet. So instead of banana cream, I prepared cream cheese with white chocolate frosting and topped with birthday cake crumbs and pistachio. And we have a triple layered banana cream cheese cake!
A quick and easy one is also to just cut the cake into half and layer with chocolate ganache and mascarpone cream, topped with hazelnut brittle. I baked this for one of my team members birthday. Easy peazy!
And finally, this is one of my achievements; the milkbar momofuku banana layered cake. I followed the recipe to a T and voila, so good. Daunting at first but the result of a successful bake!
