Leap year nonya banana cake



Read with some amusement about how some foodies are cutting back on baking to cope with the rising food cost,increasing utilities bills etc,hmm...everything is getting more expensive nowadays....hence,I hesitate slightly to bake this nonya banana cake,apart from having to use lots of ingredients,the baking time is rather extensive at one hour and a half...remembered the first time I bake this cake ,that was 4 years ago,missed the kuih like texture and since my lao gong gave me the go-ahead,I attempted it again....but I guess it will be a long long time before I bake it for the 3rd time,hmm,another leap year?hahaa.....

Here is the recipe for the cake,the amount serves 10 people,and can be half if needed...
approx 480g ripe mashed bananas,add in one tablespoon of lime/lemon juice
455g butter
3 tablespoon condensed milk
450g sugar(can be reduced slightly to suit taste)
9 eggs
350g sifted self raising flour
Methods:
1.Cream butter,condensed milk and half of sugar for 5 minutes using wooden spoon.Add mashed bananas.
2.In clean mixing bowl,whisk eggs with rest of sugar till creamy.
3.Fold in one -third of egg mixture to creamed butter till well mixed.Add rest of egg mixture,mashed bananas and lastly the flour,stir as lightly as possible.
4.Pour into greased tin,bake in oven at 150 degree celcius for 11/4 to 11/2 hours till skewer comes out clean.
