we had lots of over-ripened mini bananas at home. they were given to us by a japanese friend who bought them from m'sia. yupp so i was tasked with baking a cake to use them all up.
and it's great cos over-ripened bananas are ideal for making banana cakes!
and so, i headed over to aunty yochana's site and found a well-reviewed recipe. mine looked different from hers thou. i see none of the black stripy thing in my cake. (actually i see some!) haha i guess it's because of the kind of bananas i used.
the cake turned out really soft and fragrant :) and i brought some over to share with my korean neighbours.
