[@user-tv1uw3jv2i]

Ohhh me gustan tus recetas y los subtitulos en Español . Saludos desde España

[@beautyfasipe7133]

Finally i found the best teacher on KZbin ❤

[@louisaklimentos7583]

You explained it so well . I used another recipe but it came out dense . I think it is because I used cake flour instead of all purpose flour which was stated in the recipe , not realising that 1 tsp baking powder was for all purpose flour not cake flour . That is why it became dense . Also I reduced the brown sugar from 150 g down to 100 grams . I am for certain that there was not enough baking powder . It looked too moist . Anyway I am going to do your recipe I have Light house low protein flour for cakes pastry and muffins . I hope this is ok to use . Lighthouse flours come from Fremantle Western Australia . I will prepare and cook the banana cake batter the day before and prepare the frosting and caramel sauce the day before . The next day I will put the sauce and frosting on cake and decorate with bananas and maybe some strawberries. My friend wants me to make the cake for her birthday . I will keep my fingers crossed .

[@aminahuria1202]

Watching from Pakistan. U r brilliant. I m learning baking from u. U explain everything very veryyyyyyyy wonderful amazing way. It really amazed me. Stay blessed. Accept my prayers n love for u.

[@cakechill8265]

I reduce the amount of sugar from 300 gr into 200 gr. Soft crumb, fluffy, delicious ❤

[@barbarakatunga6530]
