My banana cake

I'm no delia.... So my question is why wasy banana cake so moist and looked like it had all sunk to the bottom??

The moistness I thought was because I didn't leave it cool long enough before I put it in a container but, I'm not sure??

You'll be too ill from the chicken to eat the cake.

If you're not sure if your cake is cooked listen to it.

No I'm not mad! Pull it out of the oven and if you can hear a kind of crackling noise it's still not cooked. Once your cake is silent it is cooked and will not sink.

So if the skewer test is inconclusive (it can be when there are chunks of fruit like mashed banana) just listen to it.

Did the recipe call for either baking powder or baking soda (or both)?

Cos cakes with too much raising agent can overrise and will always fall cos the structure is not enough to hold it.

If using added raising agent make sure it is in date and measure carefully. If a teaspoon be sure your teaspoons are 5ml or use a measuring spoon (if you don't have a set the ones that come with calpol are marked) stir the powder before you get a spoonful and most recipes call for a level teaspoon so smooth the top with your finger.

Hope it was self raising flour!

In all seriousness did you mix it for long enough? The idea is to get air in the mixture and it can take longer than you think. Just because the mix is consistent doesn't mean it's aerated.

Banana loaf is simple to make, but it's also easy to b*gger up!

You beat really well until you add the flour, then you fold gently and as little as possible.
