Banana sponge cake

Recently we have been to some friends for Varalakshmi Vratham and ended up with tons of bananas (paraphrasing hit someone like a ton of bricks). My husband new what to do with the first batch reaching old age. Banana bread. But wife is bored of classic banana bread. Still I thought  a new recipe might make me do it. foodnetwork's 1 stick of butter put me off. Besides its 2 cups. I find 1 cup recipes ideal to make. And somehow when I was thinking of no fat, banana and sponge circuits in my head got short and I wanted a 'banana sponge cake'. It seems more like an English thing with most recipes in grams. The net doesn't serve up a simple sponge cake easily. the least it expects of you is to separate the eggs and whites. I remember it was easy the last time. Finally I chose sponge cakes.
4 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
2 ripe bananas
Bake at 325F for 40min in loaf pan
should have added some baking powder.



Flavored whipped cream:
Today at Starbucks, I asked the barista making a mocha crumble, what was the thing on top. It looked like whipped cream but wasn't white.
Chocolate whipped cream

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
