Steamed Yin and Yang Cake

I had some leftover bananas…. and so I baked the only cake I knew how to bake….. Steamed Banana Cake. We doubled the recipe since the original recipe turns out a cake too small for us.

My boy helped me. He was delighted to squash the bananas and mix in the egg and flour…. but we ran out of sugar…. and so we improvised. We put in a packet of 3-in-1 milo powder in place of sugar for one half of the cake. Fortunately the cake turned out. Phew!

However, the banana side tasted better of course since it was meant to be a banana cake after all. The Milo side looked good but did not meet up to its looks. Haha. Next time better check to make sure we have ALL the ingredients before we say GO! Still, it was nice experimenting.

One more day and then schools out for the kids for the first term holidays. I will be extra busy then spending time with them. Perhaps I won’t be able to blog till AFTER the school holidays. In any case, Happy Weekend everyone.
