    Thanks for watching! And help us on the debate, would you consider banana bread a cake or actually bread? 🥲

    • @ronknox3376
      @ronknox3376 3 месяца назад

      Bread have a rising agent traditionally whereas cake does not necessarily. So you made a banana cake because you didn't have yeast or baking powder it seems.
      Google said it is called a bread because you use a loaf pan to bake it rather than a cake pan. I'm no authority but the internet says so therefore it must be ;)

      We've always called it cake in my family. I think calling it "loaf" is a good middle ground. I can't bring myself to call it bread; if you can't make a ham sandwich with it, can you really call it bread?

    • @firemage1990
      @firemage1990 3 месяца назад

      It looked like bread from the outside. And at least you tried making it Emma! I've made plenty of food mostly from boxes and cakes from boxes too. Is there any stores nearby that has the cake/ bread mixes that you can try? That way you can just add things like eggs, water, and bananas if you try it again. Just a suggestion tho. I really liked the views of the city that you got. Hoping for less rainy weather for you both.

    I make banana bread every Sunday. This my recipe
    2-3 bananas
    1/2 cup milk
    50g butter
    2 eggs
    2/3 cups brown sugar
    1 1/2 self raising flour
    Cinnamon
    Melted butter in microwave, Mashed banana, put milk, eggs and brown sugar and mix. Then add flour and add how cinnamon you want and mix all together. I add chocolate chips some times.
    Lots of love from Australia

    Love the baking segment. 😂 I think if you had had a rising agent or some kind it might have gone a little better. And less banana! I love to bake and make awesome chocolate chip pecan banana bread. While it looks and eats like a bread, I would definitely say it could be classified as a cake.
    As for the poppy seed pastry, I think it makes sense… when you go in for a big bite of what you think is chocolate and come out with a strong savoury taste, it would be surprising and might really turn you off even if it might be something you would normally like.
    Sorry about the nasty weather! We’re getting a lot of it here too.
    Looking forward to the home tour!

    I live in a tiny house with my partner so I definitely understand the struggle of trying to bake in a small space. I died when you cut that first slice. As an American who lives in the South we definitely call it "banana bread" though I agree with you that it is more of a cake. It is even better when you mix walnuts into the batter and serve it with a big pat of salted butter on top. So good!

    a very interesting city, looking forward to the van tour, and as a person who makes banana bread on a regular basis you did pretty good for not having everything you needed to make it and yes technically it is more like cake since you didn't have a rising agent and it wasn't in a loaf pan

    You’re supposed to let the breadcake cool before you cut into it! It needs to cool down to “set”, and it’ll also continue to bake even after you take it out of the oven so if you dig into it right away, you’re probably underbaking it. Poor cakebread never had a chance 😢
    btw it’s blowing my mind that you have an oven in there!!

    To me banana bread is cake. There is no gluten, and it contains far more butter, eggs, and sugar than any bread I’ve ever made. So, I call it banana cake not bread. Also, it is leavened with baking powder and not yeast. Loved the tree lined walkway, so sad to see so much graffiti though. Cozy video, have an epic day and be safe!!!
