ABOUT THE RECIPE

This recipe has been followed from the celebrity chef Gautam Mehrishi on a TV show in which he called it ‘bread’. Found the recipe quite different & worth trying, but it raised a big doubt too. The doubt was pertaining to steaming flour/maida.

Cakes are generally baked in oven & flour is properly gets cooked due to the heat of oven whereas just steaming flour was somewhat raising our eyebrows.

But lately two things motivated us to go ahead in making it. One, this is the recipe of a celebrity chef, so no question of doubting it. And second one is bit funny but it’s a fact that if steamed flour can be eaten through momos, why can’t this cake. Lol.

Therefore we moved ahead and this is obvious that if results would have been bad, there weren’t this post on this blog.

BANANA BREAD v/s BANANA CAKE

If you have noticed the title of post, you must have found the use of both words “cake” & “bread”. And this is the most confusing part when it comes to baking with bananas.

There are number of opinions and ideas and studies and observations distinguishing banana bread & banana cake but somewhere they are conflicting too.

Here’s summarising few of the most common discussions about banana bread/cake available on google :

  • It falls into the category of quick breads. Not with yeast, but they are leavened with baking soda & baking powder and it requires no proofing time. They are dense like bread but sweet like cake. You can’t call them cake though they don’t seem like bread.
  • The sweetness in cake is much more than that of a bread and it being too much sweet is a cake & not a bread.
  • Bread is soft & light whereas cake is dense and heavy. It being the later must be a cake & not bread.
  • If you make it in rectangular loaf pan & cut in the shape of a bread slice, it’s a bread and if in other shaped tin, it’s a cake.
  • Cake is covered with whipping cream whereas bread is left naked. If it is covered, it’s cake otherwise bread.
  • There’s a difference between the ingredients, method, taste & way of eating and depending upon that, it can be ascertained whether it’s a bread or cake.

OMG… suggestions and observations are endless so as your confusions.

We wish, some expert jump over to this post & clear our confusion as to what it is? Banana bread or Banana Cake.

But whatever it is technically, practically it’s delicious so who cares. Lol.

    More than the making of the cake in the rice cooker what I’m really intrigued is that I never thought of using the rice cooker as a steamer. Awesome idea..if it works for the cake then it will work for other steamed dishes. Thanks on the pointers on the difference between a cake and quick bread.
