I first saw this recipe on Edith of Precious Moments and its was well raved by the others, then i saw it on DG of Tested and Tasted and then i saw it again on Bee of Honey Bee Sweets with raves from them as well, i decided to put my hands to it, then came the most irritating thing, i couldn't get sour cream i almost gave up doing it, then i decided to use Greek Yogurt as the substitute for sour cream, the results? see it for yourself!
Just look at the gorgeous golden brown color of the crust... could you even resist eating this?
Just look at the texture of the inside.... woah its soft beyond words, just look at the crumbs.... its really super delicious, divine taste... now i'm not sure what is the magical ingredient for making this so soft.. those who had tried this says it the sour cream but because i'm not using sour cream i couldn't comment on that hmmm so could it be the ground almonds? highly possible me thinks =D
P.S i quadruple the recipe and baked into the night and finally ending at 2am.... so i guess you must be thinking i'm seriously crazy right haha!

It sure is beautiful! Such a lovely texture. I never knew that so many bloggers blogged about this cake, I think I'll try it one day. For the ground almonds, did you grind them yourself (with the skin)? You're not crazy, haha, I did that before too, baking sugar cookies for my dad's coworkers. I didn't even feel tired! Baking just makes me really energetic. :)
Soft and yummy right? But again, yours is almost a new version by itself, Greek yogurt & almonds instead of sour cream & hazelnuts. :) definitely a good recommendation to all bananas cake lovers!
Esther haha that's is the thing abt baking right? baking when you shd be slping and not feeling tired at all!

The cake really looks very very soft and yummy! I'm thinking I just might adapt this recipe to make cupcakes for the weekend since I've bananas which are just turning a little too ripe! :D
It's the greek yogurt which makes it soft, I'm sure - I usually substitute greek yogurt for sour cream in most recipes since I'm too lazy to go out to get sour cream but I've greek yogurt lying in my fridge all the time :D
我是BANANA LOVER 叻。。嘻嘻。以前读中学时下午都会留在图书馆，那时疯狂爱上香蕉蛋糕，买一片而已，那就是我的午餐。所以当年很瘦，现在就相反了:(
