TWD - A Big Banana Cake


This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is A Big Banana Cake. The original is a three layer banana cake containing allspice and Greek Yoghurt, topped and filled with biscoff cream cheese frosting.


I didn’t have an immediate use for a big banana cake, so I made a half recipe and turned it into 12 cupcakes instead.

I made a third of the frosting recipe which was more than enough to frost the 12 cupcakes.

The highlight for me was the biscoff cream cheese frosting - it’s so good.

To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

Adam Liaw’s Lemon and Ricotta Cake


This week, I made Adam Liaw’s Lemon and Ricotta Cake recipe.
 


This light lemony cake doubles as a dessert with icecream or custard.



I enjoyed this cake heated slightly just on its own with a cuppa.


Look at the texture - lush! It comes from the ricotta and olive oil in the cake.

This recipe is a “keeper”.
