Banana cake recipe (no butter)

Ingredients

3 - 5 over ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Whip the banana's for about 5 minutes. Then add eggs and vanilla

Combine next five dry ingredients in a bowl, then add to the banana mixture.

Pour the batter in a greased and floured pan. Any size will do. This mixture will also fit nicely into 2 loaf pans.

Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes, and then check with a clean dry knife. If it comes out clean it's done. If not give it another 10 minutes and check again.

Icing:

I use a coffee flavoured icing for this cake. It might sound wierd, but it's really delicious.

1 cup of confectioners sugar
Drizzel in some coffee a little at a time and mix until you have the consistency you want, and then ice the cake!

BROWNIES

bahan:

4 butir telur

2 cup gula pasir (untuk yg gak suka manis, biasanya aku kurangin jadi 1 1/2 atau 1 3/4)

1 cup minyak goreng (pake minyak tidak jenuh supaya sehat. i.e. minyak canola, minya kedelai, etc. Tapi pake minyak goreng biasa juga gpp kok)
3/4 cup bubuk coklat
1 1/2 cup tepung terigu
1 sdt garam
2 sdt vanili
cincangan kacang tanah
cara membuat:
- Telur dikocok sampai mengembang.
- Masukkan gula sambil dikocok terus. Masukkan bahan-bahan lainnya, aduk perlahan-lahan sampai tercampur.
- Olesi loyang dengan mentega, panaskan oven 160 derajat celcius.
- Tuang adonan ke loyang, panggang� 35 menit. Test dengan tusuk gigi/lidi yang bersih.
- Dinginkan sebelum dikeluarkan dari loyang dan dipotong-potong. Demikian resep aslinya. Aku suka tambahin coklat chips kurang lebih 1/4 sampai 1/2 cup untuk yang suka dalemnya moist dan pekat. Kalo ditambahin coklat chips, loyang sebaiknya di alasi kertas kue supaya coklat chipsnya gak nempel dan hangus di loyang.Happy baking! (I have no secret anymore..)

Low Fat Baking Subsitutions

Cookie recipes don’t fare as well with substitutions, unfortunately, but you can try substituting a little bit of fruit puree for butter (and up to half) and see how you like it. Plain non-fat yogurt can be used to substitute for sour cream in baking and cooking with no discernible difference.

Other low-fat substitutions:
•1 cup whole milk = 1 cup skim milk

•1 cup buttermilk = 1 Tbsp vinegar OR 1 Tbsp lemon juice + enough skim milk to make 1 cup

•1 cup heavy cream = 1 cup evaporated skim milk OR 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt + 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese

•1 cup sour cream = 1 can chilled evaporated skim milk whipped with 1 tsp lemon juice OR 1 cup low- or non-fat yogurt

•1 cup cream cheese = 4 Tbsp margarine + 1 cup dry low-fat cottage cheese (+ a little skim milk if needed)

•1 cup butter or oil = 2/3 cup applesauce or other puree

•1 egg = 2 egg whites

Do you have any tips for low-fat baking?

Healthy Homemade Cake Recipe Tips

When baking with butter:
Room-temperature butter in the cake batter is one of the biggest cake baking mistakes. In fact, butter must be below 68°F to trap air molecules and build structure. Otherwise, the fat will liquefy and the cake will be flat.
To get “cool” butter:
Cut the chilled butter into chunks and let it sit in a bowl for 5 minutes before beating.

When mixing cake batter:
You cannot overbeat the eggs, sugar and butter, but you can overbeat the flour. If you do, gluten will form and you will be making a quick bread instead of a layer cake. Beat the flour just until there are no visible signs of dry flour, but not until the batter is completely smooth.

Cake flour:
Cake flour is milled from soft wheat that has a lower gluten content and higher starch content than all-purpose flour. It helps to ensure a fluffy texture in cakes and pastries. A substitute for cake flour is to use all-purpose flour, but reduce the amount by 2 tablespoons per cup.

pound cake recipe

Recipe:
1 3/4 cups (230 grams) cake flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup (226 grams) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) superfine or castor sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Zest of a lemon or orange (optional)
Note: To make your own superfine sugar - place 1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar in the bowl of your food processor. Process until very fine, about 30 seconds.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Butter or spray with a pan spray, a 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 13 x 8 cm) loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter or spray the paper.
• In a large bowl, sift together twice, the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating continuously on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (this will take about 5 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• After about five minutes the batter should be light in color and fluffy in texture. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. You will notice that the batter will look curdled. Don't worry as the batter will come together again after you add the flour mixture. Add the vanilla and lemon zest, if using, and beat until incorporated.
• Add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Remove the cake from the pan and cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature
  Will keep several days well wrapped or it can be frozen for a month.
• Makes one 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf.

tips membuat cake

• Jangan meletakan loyang terlalu dekat dengan sumber api pada bagian bawahnya (atau suhu oven terlalu panas) karena permukaan cake bagian atas masih tetap basah walaupun bagian bawahnya sudah hangus.
• Jika cetakan terlalu tinggi sehingga bagian atas loyang dengan dinding atas oven terlalu dekat atau jika suhu oven terlalu panas maka hasil cake juga tidak akan sempurna karena bagian atas cake sudah hangus sementara bagian tengahnya masih belum matang.
• Dasar loyang sebaiknya dilapisi dengan kertas roti dan jangan dipoles dengan margarine, serta ditaburi tepung karena akan membuat bagian bawah cake menjadi tebal dan terkelupas.
• Memanggang cake yang tipis membutuhkan suhu oven yang lebih tinggi (± 200°C), sedangkan untuk memanggang cake yang tebal suhu oven harus lebih rendah (± 180°C).
• Bungkus cake dengan aluminium foil dan masukkan ke dalam freezer, maka cake akan tahan lebih dari 5 minggu.
• Oven sudah harus dalam keadaan panas sebelum cake dibakar. Air kukusan juga sudah harus dalam kondisi mendidih sebelum mengukus kue.
• Coklat bubuk dalam adonan harus diayak bersamaan dengan tepung terigu yang digunakan membuat cake, supaya coklatnya dapat tersebar lebih merata dan tidak berbutir-butir dalam adonan.
• Pewarna cair yang digunakan harus dimasukkan pada saat adukan pertama. Jika dimasukkan pada saat adonan sudah jadi, maka volume cake tidak akan maksimal.
• Margarine cair harus dalam keadaan dingin sebelum ditambahkan ke dalam adonan cake. Jika panas, maka tekstur cake yang dihasilkan akan menjadi kasar.
• Jika cake ingin diberi butter cream, usahakan cake sudah dalam keadaan dingin selama 2 jam. Jika tidak, maka butter cream akan meleleh dan cake menjadi tidak tahan lama.
• Adonan yang paling cocok untuk membuat cake yang diberikan buah adalah adonan pound cake.
• Jangan memasukkan beberapa jenis buah-buahan yang berlendir di dalam adonan cake untuk isian, sebab akan membuat cake menjadi tidak tahan lama.
