A twist to our regular banana cake with the substitution of half the salf raising flour with Almond flour. My banana cakes are very light as they are low in sugar and I only use canola oil.  With this change, a  slightly rich and moisture rich banana cake ensued. Try it to believe it!!

Ingredients (yields two 7 x 2 inch high cakes or one 7 x 4inch high cake )
​4 over ripe bananas, mashed
​3 eggs, at room temperature, beaten
​130ml canola oil

125gm self raising flour
125gm almond flour
​1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
​150gm caster sugar
​25gm almond slivers and extra for the top

​Method
  1. ​Preheat the oven to 180deg C. Line the baking tin with greaseproof paper.
  2. Take a medium mixing bowl and mash the over ripe bananas well until its a soggy mess. Mix with the beaten eggs and the canola oil. Set aside.
  3. ​Take another bowl and sieve both types of flour with the baking soda. If the almond flour doesnt go through, just make sure there are no more lumps and then tip all over. 
  4. ​Add the caster sugar and the almond slivers. Mix well and set aside.
  5. ​Add the dry and wet ingredients and mix well.
  6. ​Separate the batter into two and pour them into the two containers. Top with more slivered almonds.
  7. Bake for 25-30 mins till golden brown on top.  
  8. Enjoy with a cup of light tea.

5 Minute Salsa

A super easy 5 minute salsa that requires only ingredients to be washed, cut and whizzed in a food processor. They all can be cut into roughly big pieces because they are all going to get chopped up small in  the processor. I got the recipe for this delicious preservative free salsa from a fellow docent trainee Jane at National Museum of Singapore just yesterday.  I made and served this today at a small gathering of friends and it was a SUPER HIT!

​Ingredients (yields 2 cups)  
​1/2 medium red onion, cut big
​2 medium tomatoes, cut into big pieces 
1/2 green chilli, sliced
​1 cup roughly chopped coriander leaves
​A small piece of yellow capsicum, cut into chunks
10 pieces of pickled jalapeno
juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper

Method
​1) Wash and cut everything big. Place it in a food processor with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

2) Whizz it for 3-5 secs only.

3) Check for seasonings and serve with nacho bowl, chips or dips.
