4. in a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, then add in egg yolk one at a time.


5. add in the mashed bananas and continue to beat for a while then fold* in the egg white, then the flour.lastly add the orange juice.


the batter should be in "dropping" consistency.pour batter in a lined 8 inch square tin.

6. preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake for one hour.
*fold means mixing in with a spatula, and not beating with a mixer. be gentle =)

fresh from the oven, that's when it taste the BEST.
my mum says enjoying it with a cup of coffee is simply delightful, but i don't fancy coffee...unless its during the exam period..which i don't consume much also anyway. just when i am desperate...

enjoy!!
