Banana Cake

Some days I feel lazy and not in the mood to bake elaborate cakes with massive amounts of fancy ingredients...just using stuff I can find my larder and fridge.

This is a very simple "Malaysian-style" cake recipe. One of those you can purchase at cake shops, stalls and restaurants but without all the preservatives.

Simple and Delicious!
