Looks Good, Shame About the Taste

I had high hopes for banana bread # 6.


It looked great coming out of the oven, it made a large cake so ideal for the family, but ugh!, it tasted just revolting. The bicarb taste was so strong this cake smelt and tasted like fish!


It looks great straight out of the oven


Good texture inside.
The Recipe

2C SR flour
1t bicarb
1t ground nutmeg
1/2 C brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (not used)
1 C milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1C mashed banana
1T raw sugar
Preheat oven to 180C
Grease and line a large loaf pan
Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl
Stir in sugar (and walnuts)
Combine milk, eggs and banana and stir into dry ingredients
Spoon into prepared tin
Sprinkle with raw sugar
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean
Stand 5 mins before turning out onto a rack to cool
Slice and serve fresh or toasted with butter or jam.


This one went straight into the bin. I was so disappointed as it looked so good. I wonder why they added the bicarb when the recipe had SR flour? If there is a next time, and I would like to try this one again as it was a good sized loaf, I might leave out the bicarb and maybe use buttermilk or yoghurt in place of the milk.


Score 3/10
