Steamed Cake!

Hello! have been resting all these days during the holidays, without fear of meeting due dates of assignments and whatsoever.... This is life :) decided to bake yesterday and use up some ripe bananas at home. 

Looked through many popular banana recipes such as banana bread, banana muffins and cookies, but i did not 'feel' like making all these.. Finally, I thought of something that I wanted to try! that is.......... Banana Swiss Roll!! sounds awesome right? LOL. Saw plenty of tempting recipes online and decided on 1. 

proceeded to Clementi for ingredients shopping! Dilly dallied for a long time before going home with lunch for myself and the maid. hehe. 

My awesome wanton noodle for lunch!! It was from quite a famous stall, fortunately there was only a short queue when I bought the noodles. hehe. Satisfying! The char siew was nice! the bowl of noodles was finished in a jiffy! 

It was time to get down to serious business after lunch!! Baking commenced when the needed utensils and ingredients were gathered. Much effort was needed to whip/ beat the eggs cause I couldn't find the mixer :( 

There were 2 yolks in this 1 egg!! 

After all the hard work, my batter was complete, however, to my horror, the oven was FAULTY!! OMG TTM!! I did everything so well, but to discover that the oven was not working.. It was such a blow to me. sigh.. 

In order to save my efforts, I thought of steaming and cooking it with a rice cooker! hehe. it was sort of something that I have always wanted to try :p 
Therefore, instead of making a Swiss roll, I made steamed cakes.. LOLOL!! The rice cooker took a really long time to cook the cake, while the steamer was much faster. Will never try to make a cake with a rice cooker ever again! Waste of time and resources (electricity) :(

So in the end, my steamed cakes turned out a 'success'! With the addition of chocolate chips and walnut, they tasted pretty good! ;) I like this recipe! It doesn't have butter which means that my granny can finally eat the cakes made by me!! :DD 

As pictured, the cakes were quite ugly because they sank. Wasn't suppose to open the lid in midst of steaming, but I did, cause I was so anxious to check on the them. It was a fun and tiring experience!! made me feel like trying out more steamed cake recipes!! :)
