Eggless White Chocolate Banana Cake

Photo: barbiekins

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

60 grams white chocolate

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

3 bananas, mashed

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Preheat oven to 175C. Line muffin pan with cupcake liners.

In a bowl, stir together flour and baking soda.

In another bowl, mix sugars. Set aside.

Melt milk, white chocolate, and butter in a sauce pan over low fire. Once the butter and white chocolate have melted, stir in sugars, bananas, and vanilla.

Whisk carefully until everything is incorporated. Don’t overmix.

Scoop batter into muffin tins until 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake at 175C (mine was at 125C) for 18-20 minutes.

You would notice that the bottom of the cupcakes are a bit light after coming out of the oven. Don’t fret, it would all come together after cooling for 30 minutes to an hour.

You can frost the cupcakes with white chocolate ganache or any frosting you prefer. I didn’t have enough time to frost, so they’re plain – but still very delish. ;)

About

I woke up late tonight. I kept on pressing the snooze button on my phones, and before I knew it, it was already past 7 in the evening. I should’ve woken up at 5 pm to give me enough time to prepare what I needed to bring to the office. So instead of having 4 full hours to prepare, I was left with two. Good job, me.

What was I planning to prepare, anyway? I had an order for macaroons and had to prepare spinach pesto pasta for lunch at work. Aside from that, I was planning to make white chocolate [banana] cupcakes. How would I be able to finish all that in two hours – plus cleaning up and taking a shower. I know, it doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare all three, but I don’t like doing things in a hurry – that’s a recipe for disaster. Trust me, I should know.

Anyhoo, I am thankful I was able to finish everything without being late for work. Yes!

The white chocolate banana cupcakes turned out great, if not for a little hitch: I forgot to add the egg. By the time I realized, it was too late. My gut was telling me it’s okay. I’ve seen a few recipes that didn’t call for eggs. Maybe it would work.

And it did! It just needed a longer time to cool, but they’re yummy nonetheless. And easy – one bowl is all you need. Or maybe two plus a sauce pan – no mixer needed! :)

I got the recipe for white chocolate cupcake from Cake on the Brain, but I adjusted some stuff. So here’s my version – with bananas!
