To be precise, this is a banana, dates, chocolate chips with walnut topping cupcake with Lindt dark chocolate butter ganache. The name is so long, so used short form for title.
The original cake was a tea-time loaf cake, my sis baked this a few months before and I thought it's a good banana cake recipe. So, instead of using my usual butter cake and making them into banana cake, I used this banana cake recipe.
The baked cupcakes
The icing is a dark chocolate butter ganache.

The decoration for the cupcake, I made some "banana disk", inspired by this blog. It's called the caramelized banana disk, which I might call them "fried" bananas.

Thank u LGM! A supportive taster aka blog ed. I tried a bite of the cupcake this morning, I think maybe the cakes are better off without the walnut. Too much "distraction" towards the cupcake till it's not focused - the highlight is no longer banana.
ReplyDeleteDear Dear.... Anything will do la.. I am not that picky, am I? Same same as PT la, I take whatever you baked.. "P
ReplyDeleteIcing.. Sure, cox it is choc!!!
hehe... Looking forward for the choc to lift up my mood.. Then again.. Tougher tracks to burn that off?
