Interesting indeed. I didn't know that it was possible to bake a cake in the breadmaker. That was until I saw sweet-tooth's post on it. Of course, being the first time, I fumbled with the ingredients. In fact, I had forgotten to add sugar when the machine started. I added sugar only after close to 5 minutes of the cycle (when the cycle was supposedly for 7 minutes).
When baking was in process, the aroma of bananas was in the air. It was more fragrant than when I last baked banana cakes. So I wondered if it's due to the bananas that I used tonight. It's some smaller version of the del monte bananas from the Phillippines.
The cake or quick bread turned out ok, except it was a little dark. I should have chosen "light" for colour instead. It also turned out to be extremely crumbly, like the usual banana butter cake. It could use a little more sugar, as I had used salted butter. I'm also afraid that the edges would turn hard or dry tomorrow. We'll have to wait and see. When I tasted it earlier, it was ok, almost as good as the usual banana cake. I may try to bake the corn meal quick bread next.
I'm so excited as I have a new toy: it's a pullman pan! Yes, finally, I bought one from PH this afternoon. I'm not sure what bread I would bake but I don't have any more thickened cream, just meiji low fat milk and 3 tubs of swiss premium yogurt of various flavours. Boy, am I itching to bake but not sure if I'll have time this weekend.

yuri, since you have yogurt you can try baking yogurt bread again, maybe with a flavour you've yet to try.
lol wf, dunno what happened to me, no mood to bake lately :P well maybe i'll feel better in a few days...
Hi Yuri, after I read your post (before coming to this comments page), I wanted to recomend the same thing...KWF's yoghurt bread :) But since u are not in the mood, better dont bake anything. For me, if I am not in a good mood, my bakes usually dont turn out well! Sometimes my mind tells me to go bake something...but I just can't bring my body to do it, lolz!
Thanks for dropping by HHB, so kind of you to leave such encouraging thoughts. I baked something last night, turned out to be a horrible mistake. Didn't do too well with tonight's bake as well...
