Steamed soft banana chocolate walnut cake

Steamed soft banana chocolate walnut cake

This was my second time making this cake. The first that I made was simply banana and chocolate . Since my husband bought lots of walnuts and almonds, I thought , maybe I can add some walnuts into it. Oh yes, this cake has two portion, one is the banana and the other is the plain. The top plain layer is soft .

It was a hazy morning, Singapore had been under hazing and humid weather for nearly a week..Since I would be meeting two little sisters in the afternoon , I would love to make them my steam cakes .  I realised that I ran out of Hong Kong flour. As it was hazy outside , I didn't want to make any trip to the supermarket . Therefore, I measured how much flour I was short of and I substituted the remaining with cake flour.

I have this recipe from aunty Yochana . She really made great cakes. I loved reading her blog.. Hopefully , I can meet her in person one day.
