Hi, You haven't mentioned as to when to add the mashed bananas !!
Hi Joy, you may add the bananas before adding the orange juice. Thanks for pointing out, I will make the correction!!
I tried this recipe yesterday 16 Jan but for some reason my cake was not soft, it was dense, the taste was yummy no doubt. where did I go wrong?
I love trying Shireen’s recipes, easy to follow
Sorry to hear that Anta…did you sift the flour twice? Not sure why you got a dense cake..
Hi Shireen,
I love your recepies and they are just too good. But this cake became more like pudding than cake. Followed the recepie just as you mentioned but it turned not so like a cake. Any idea why?
Hi Clara, sorry to hear that, I am not sure what went wrong. I will try this recipe again myself and update the instructions if need be
Cake came out dense…followed the instructions perfectly…
Sorry to hear that Clara, I will retry the recipe and update it shortly
