Classic Banana Bundt Cake by Ira

I made banana bundt cake yest, using a recipe by Dorie Greenspan (book is called Baking) and that is the best anything i have ever baked with bananas. The result was a very soft, banana cake. HEre is a link to the recipe online.

Classic Banana Bundt Cake

Ingredients: Makes 1 Bundt Cake (14 servings)

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
About 4 very ripe bananas, mashed (you should have 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups)
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (12 cup) Bundt pan. (If you use a silicone Bundt pan there’s no need to butter it.) Don’t place the pan on a baking sheet - you want the oven’s heat to circulate through the Bundt’s inner tube.

Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together.

Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each egg goes in. Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the bananas. Finally, mix in half the dry ingredients (don’t be disturbed when the batter curdles), all the sour cream and then the rest of the flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the pan, rap the pan on the counter to debubble the batter and smooth the top.

Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes - if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto the rack to cool to room temperature.

If you’ve got the time, wrap the cooled cake in plastic and allow it to sit on the counter overnight before serving - it’s better the next day.

Optional Lemony White Icing:
Sift 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar into a bowl and squeeze in enough fresh lemon juice (start with 2 teaspoons and add more by drops) to make an icing thin enough to drizzle down the Bundt’s curves.

Tiramisu by wishkamar

For Tiramisu, I used Chef Giada’s recipe..Following is the link to the recipe

Tiramisu Recipe : Giada De Laurentiis : Food Network

I did make a few amendments to the recipe for personal liking but the result was divine regardless…

  1. I am a bit reluctant to eat raw eggs (I don’t eat mayonnise at all) even when they are grade-A eggs…That’s why I cooked egg yolks and eugar over a double boiler for about 8-10 minutes and then proceeded as required.

  2. I omitted rum and used a bit of vanilla essence instead in mascarpone cheese mixture as well as in coffee

  3. Didn’t have espresso on hand and I simply brewed 1 1/2 cup of strong instant coffee and used that.

Re: Desserts

Banoffee Pie (My fav' dessert - ready-made at Sainsbury's too!)

posted by iggle

Serves 8-10. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Chilling time: 1½ hours. Cooking time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Base:
100g (3½oz) butter
250g (9oz) digestive biscuits, crushed

Caramel:
175g (6oz) butter
85g (3oz) caster sugar
85g (3oz) dark brown soft sugar
397g can Carnation Condensed Milk

4 small bananas
284ml carton double cream, lightly whipped
cocoa powder, for dusting

Method

In a large saucepan, melt 100g (3½oz) of the butter and stir in the crushed biscuits. Press into the base and partly up the sides of a 19cm (7½in) loose-bottomed cake tin. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the caramel.

To make the caramel, place the butter and the sugars in a non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk, stirring continuously, bring gently to boil, to make a smooth, golden caramel. Spread the caramel over the biscuit base and chill for about 1½ hours.

Slice the bananas and arrange most of them over the caramel. Spread with whipped cream. Decorate with the remaining bananas and dust liberally with cocoa powder.

(Sometimes instead of making the caramel, I melt 'Dime' bars or other chocolate bars with lots of caramel in them instead and pour it over the base which tastes so amazing!)
