Banana Bake-off

I was able to finally do some baking during the holiday vacation. Since there was an abundance of bananas in the house, my mom requested me to make some banana cake. I already had recipes that I wanted to try. I decided to try 2 recipes that I had in my file. One is the Golden Banana Cake from Marketmanila which can be found here and the other is the Banana Nut Bread that I found in Tastespotting whose recipe can be found here.

Marketmanila's Golden Banana Cake


I added chopped walnuts on top as I had extra walnuts from the other recipe.

Banana Nut Bread from No Thyme To Cook!


I added mini chocolate chips to this recipe. Banana+Nuts+Chocolate Chips = Heaven!

My mom liked MarketManila's banana cake since it was moist and light. Perfect with a cup of coffee. The banana bread was dense and nutty and chocolatey which I prefer=) Both recipes are easy to do and require minimum amount of effort. Even a novice baker can do this without breaking a sweat. These recipes are both keepers.=)
