Banana Butter Cake

Had a craving for baking last night. So Banana Butter Cake it is!  I have a comb of  banana at home and since the Hubby loves butter cake, I decided to make this delicious , moist and buttery cake, packed with sweet fragrant banana (Pisang Berangan ) We somehow prefer this banana for cake making as it is not overly strong in fragrance.  I decided to use a recipe that does not uses too much butter but yet give the cake its buttery taste. I made the right choice. The hubby loves the perfect ratio of butter,eggs and banana in the cake recipe. Easy to whip up and a healthier version of butter cake with the right amount of banana in it. Banana-ey yet has the texture of a butter cake.

lazy me..just line the cake tin without cutting the parchment paper
