Banana Walnut Cake

I remember the first time I ate a very delicious Banana Walnut Cake was made by a colleague from Penang. It was so delicious that thou not a great fan of cooked banana ( I basically hate all cooked fruits) I still remember I ate quite a few pieces of it. And now this colleague of mine, thou still am my colleague but we no longer report to the same manager thus no opportunity to tried his Banana Walnut Cake again.

Thus, the next best thing is made it myself ( with recipe from him!!!) ........

I have to admit that I made a few amendment to his recipe with something I found over the internet ( the wonder of internet!!!!). However, for a first timer in baking cake, this is consider a success.

Here I would like to share it with all of you the final product of my hard work for today......

1) 3 cups of self raising flour
2) 250gm butter
3) 4 medium size eggs (beaten)
4) 3 medium bananas ( overripe and cut into small pieces)

6) 1.5 cups superfine sugar ( you can adjust the level of sweetness according to your preference)
