kek pisang pasar malam

my other half's favourite omputih cake is banana walnut and his favourite melayu cake is kek pisang ala pasar malam; you know the long rectangular gebu loaf  they sell at pasar tani or pasar malam or in our case, to be exact, the stall outside Giant Taman Permata in Ulu Klang. i searched high and low on the internet for the recipe and took the risk in trying this particular recipe (on http://www.jintanmanis.com/)  which i thot should be the one, just by looking at the measurement - semua sukat guna cawan & use oil instead of butter which could possibly mean its a traditional recipe. and true enough..it taste just like the kek pisang that i used to eat when i was young and the one we got at pasar malam..

Ingredients

2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 cup caster sugar
3 small over-ripe bananas - mashed ( i sometimes buy over-ripe bananas or buy good ones & leave to ripen in fruit bowl)
1/2 cup cooking oil (can use vege oil or corn oil)
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs

method

1. oven 180 deg C
2. sieve the flour, bicarb soda & baking powder into a bowl
3. in another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar  till fluffy, add in essence & mashed bananas and beat further.
4. add in flour and oil and mix and pour into mould.
5. bake for 40 minutes.

i've not used any other recipe for kek pisang since...
