## Embracing the Banana: A Tropical Delight in Cake Form

Banana cakes are a staple in many homes, but not all banana cakes are created equal. Enter Chef RV's Easy Banana Cake, an exceptional dessert that not only embodies the comforting familiarity of homemade cakes but also bears the mark of culinary craftsmanship. Let's unravel the magic of this recipe.

## Ingredients That Make a Difference

Every great dish begins with top-notch ingredients. Here's what you'll need:

- 165 grams of corn or canola oil
- 165 grams of dark brown sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- Approximately 500 grams of peeled overripe bananas
- 250 grams of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 118 grams of heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons of white vinegar
- 125 grams of walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)
- Butter or vegetable oil shortening for greasing
- Heatproof parchment paper

Don't worry if you don't have all of these at hand; there's always room for substitutes. We'll discuss this later.

## Unlocking the Aroma: Preparation and Cooking

For this cake, you'll need to preheat your oven to 400F (204C), then reduce to 350F (177C) halfway. Here's how it's done:

Sure, here's a summary of the steps from the video transcript to make an Easy Banana Cake:

1. Weigh 500g of peeled overripe bananas and place them in a mixer.
2. Add 3/4 cup of brown sugar, two eggs, and 3/4 cup of canola or corn oil into the mixer. Mix until bananas are mashed and mixture is smooth.
3. Sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a half teaspoon of salt.
4. Add chopped walnuts into the sifted dry ingredients to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
5. Mix half a cup of heavy cream with 2 teaspoons of vinegar to create sour cream.
6. Add the sour cream and the dry ingredients to the banana mixture in the mixer. Mix on a low speed until flour is incorporated.
7. Grease three 7x3 inches loaf pans with shortening and line them with parchment paper. Afterward, grease the paper with shortening as well.
8. Divide the batter evenly among the pans.
9. To create a crack in the middle of the cake, dip a flat scraper or spatula in oil and gently press down in the middle of each loaf of batter.
10. Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit (204° Celsius).
11. Place the loaf pans onto a sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
12. Lower the oven temperature to 350° Fahrenheit (177° Celsius) and bake for 20-30 more minutes, or until the top of the cake is firm to touch.
13. After baking, remove cakes from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool until they are easy to handle.
14. Once cool, remove the cakes from the pans.

Remember that exact baking times may vary depending on the oven, so it's a good idea to check the cake's doneness towards the end of the suggested baking time.

## What's in Every Slice: Nutrition Information

Each cake should yield about 10 servings, each weighing approximately 100 grams. Each serving contains about 340 calories, composed of 19 grams of fat, 41 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of protein, and 245 milligrams of sodium. Note that these values can vary depending on the exact ingredients used.

## Perfect Companions: What to Serve with Banana Cake

Banana cake is a versatile dessert that pairs beautifully with a wide array of beverages and sides. Serve it alongside a warm cup of coffee for a cozy afternoon treat, or pair it with a cold glass of milk for a comforting midnight snack. A dollop of vanilla ice cream can also elevate your banana cake experience to another level.

## Enhance Your Baking Game: Tips and Tricks

To make your banana cake even more delectable, try the following:

- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor as the natural sugars would have developed more in these.
- Use an oil that doesn't solidify when cooled like canola, corn or sunflower oil.
- Add 2 teaspoons of vinegar to heavy cream to mimic sour cream.
- Sift your dry ingredients to avoid lumps and to bring more air to your batter.
- Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or cranberries or even adding 1 tablespoon of instant coffee poweder for a mocha taste.
- Let the cake cool on a wire rack. This allows air to circulate around the cake and cool it evenly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I Use a Different Pan Size?

Absolutely! Feel free to use any pan size or shape, just ensure that you fill it only 3/4 of the way and bake until the cake is almost firm to the touch.

### How Ripe Should My Bananas Be?

The riper, the better. Overripe bananas lend more flavor and moisture to the cake.

### Can I Replace Walnuts With Other Nuts?

Of course! Pecans, almonds, or even macadamia nuts can provide a delightful crunch.

### What if I Don't Have Heavy Cream?

You can substitute it with milk, but the result may be less rich. The key is to experiment and find what works best for you.

## Embracing the Sweet Life with Chef RV's Butterscotch Bars

Baking a perfect dessert may sound like a daunting task, especially when it comes to the delicate, tantalizing Butterscotch Bars. But, don't fret! By walking you through Chef RV's tried and tested recipe, we're here to help you bake some delectable gooey goodness.

## Ingredients to Entice Your Sweet Tooth

Before we delve into the baking process, let's gather all the ingredients. Trust me, it's a short list!

- 120g of salted butter
- ¾ cup of brown sugar
- 120g of liquid glucose
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 cups (about 250g) of Bread Flour
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- A hearty handful of roasted cashew nuts

That's it! Now, let's get to the fun part - baking.

## Rolling up Your Sleeves for Chef RV's Butterscotch Bars

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (about 175°C), and prepare two 8 x 8 square pans. Line them with non-stick parchment paper for easy removal of the bars later on.
2. Melt the butter in a casserole over low heat. Add brown sugar to it, aiming for that irresistible molasses content.
3. As the butter and sugar meld together, a heavenly butterscotch aroma will fill your kitchen. When that happens, remove from heat.
4. Stir in the liquid glucose to give your Butterscotch Bars that extra chewiness.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the bread flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
6. Incorporate the 2 eggs into the butter-sugar mix. Don't wait for the mixture to cool; life's too short for that!
7. Slowly fold in the flour mix until just combined. Overmixing is a crime in the baking world, so tread carefully.
8. Transfer the dough to your pre-prepared pans, ensuring even distribution.
9. Sprinkle generously with the cashew nuts, pressing them gently into the dough.
10. Bake for 25-28 minutes, until the bars get a golden-brown hue and your house smells like a bakery.
11. And voila! The perfect Butterscotch Bars, crafted with love and simplicity.

## Serving Your Delectable Dessert

## Last Words for the Perfect Butterscotch Bars

Baking is a science, but it's also an art that allows room for creativity

## FAQs

### Can I substitute brown sugar with white sugar?

### Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour. However, bread flour has a higher protein content, which can make your cookies chewier.

### What if I don't have liquid glucose?

You can substitute liquid glucose with an equal amount of corn syrup.

### How long can I store these cookies?

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

This delectable bread is perfect for breakfast or dessert and is sure to become a hit during the autumn season. With its soft, fluffy texture and warm, spicy notes, it will leave your taste buds craving more!

## Ingredients You'll Need

- 60g (¼ cup) butter
- 120g (½ cup) warm milk, room temperature
- 50g (¼ cup) brown sugar
- 170g (¾ cup) pumpkin purée, room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp pumpkin spice
- 550g bread flour
- 30g toasted milk powder
- 1 tsp yeast
- egg wash
- 1 tbsp maple syrup for glaze

## Let's Get Baking!

1. Create the Wet Mixture
   If using cold milk and butter, warm them up on a microwave for about 30 seconds. Their temperature should not exceed 30C or 90F or else the yeast will die.
   Combine the butter, milk, sugar, pumpkin purée, vanilla, egg, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth.

2. Add Flour and Yeast
   Introduce the flour and instant yeast to the wet mixture. Employ a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead the dough for approximately 12 minutes. If you opt for kneading by hand, ensure to follow the slap and fold method and avoid adding more flour.

3. First Rise
   Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to a clean, floured bowl. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for around an hour and a half or until doubled in size. Do not overproof.

4. Shape Your Dough
   After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal portions. Roll out each piece flat, fold them like a book, and roll them out again. Repeat this process twice to create the desired fluffy layers. Finally, shape the dough into four rolls and place them in a buttered 9x5 loaf pan or baking sheet.

5. Second Rise and Preheat the Oven
   Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes for a second rise.

6. Bake Your Bread
   In the meantime, preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C). Brush the dough with an egg wash before placing it in the oven. Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes or until the top is nicely browned. Once the bread is done, brush it with maple syrup for a shiny finish. Enjoy your Pumpkin Milk Bread while it's warm!

## Serving Suggestions

Pair your Pumpkin Milk Bread with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast. It also makes a fantastic side dish with savory soups, stews, or roasted meats.

## Ingredient Substitutes

If you're unable to find pumpkin purée, you can easily substitute it with sweet potato or butternut squash purée. Similarly, if pumpkin spice isn't available, you can create your own blend with a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.

## DIY Pumpkin Spice Blend

### Ingredients for Homemade Pumpkin Spice

- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves

This recipe makes roughly 1 tbsp of pumpkin spice.
