        Cool. That looks great. Looks like you doing a lot of baking at the moment. Much like I'm doing during lockdown. Not a skill I have but result have been pretty good. Have 2 sponge / vanilla cakes in the oven as I type. Lemon icing to top.
        like the look of this treat. Think it's on for tomorrow. Just get me some 'nanas I think I got the rest of the ingredients.
        Thanks for posting.

          Ah, rum cake and banana cake/bread are two of my favorites. You're baker enough for me, Mosca!

          Mosca 1/2 cup sugar (I use castor) 1 cup butter 2 cups flour. Cream sugar and butter add flour. Roll into a sausage using cling wrap to desired diameter. Refrigerate for an hour slice into rounds and bake at 180C. They take about 9 minutes in my oven.
          I add muesli to some of my batches for extra niceness.

          I agree with Mr. Bones: Total game changer/ life changer. Just got in from the store (I was out of butter - gasp!! Almost as bad as running out of bacon) but looks like I will be heading back out for bananas. And I'm thinking some dark rum added to this would be over the top.

            Mr. Bones I like Gosling's Black Seal rum but no one around here has it anymore. Today I found some Cruzan Blackstrap rum, it might be my new favorite: good molasses taste and a little sweet. It does not taste 40 proof (which it is) so it is a little dangerous. I bought two bottles: one for the banana bread and for drinking, the other for the rumtopf I'm making.

            58limited, here is what the recipe author has to say, and this is why Allison Robicelli is awesome: "In this cake, I’d add some rum to the sugar in the topping. Otherwise, I’d add about 2 tablespoons of rum, and use bananas that are more yellow than brown. You can always add more rum if you want! Worst case scenario you have a less-than-perfect cake that tastes like rum, and OH NO WHATEVER SHALL YOU DO."

            I am not a big banana fan, but this may change my mind

                Mosca This is basically banana bread ambrosia. Here is my version with the rum. I decided not to modify anything except: I used dark brown sugar; I had 7 bananas, not 8, so 3 1/2 into the batter, 3 1/2 for the bottom (topping); and I added 1/4 tsp of powdered ginger. I meant to buy chopped pecans while at the store but forgot, I think chopped pecans would be great in this.

                For the rum: 1/4 cup into the batter, 1/8 cup into the topping. Here it is - tastes amazing, thanks for posting this recipe!

                Fresh out of the oven.

                On the cutting board - the bottom was covered in bananas but some floated up into the batter.

                Yum! So moist! Rum is in the background, could pour more over it and let set for a day or two but bananas are rather perishable so I'll eat what I can and give the rest to friends and staff.

                  Mosca I want to apologize for posting my sourdough below on your post. I meant to post it as a new subject on the baking channel. I musta just been too tired that evening to do it right. I wonder if it is possible to move a post - I wouldn't know how to go about it.

                  You should leave it here and also start a new topic. Give more complete instruction as your justification. Say that people were asking about it, like I just did.

                Sourdough...
                • Banana Bread loaf
                • Three shapes of beer rye
                The last two pics show how I'm baking them; last loaf still in oven and I just uncovered it. I use the 6 qt dutch oven upside down; it puts cool little dents in the bottom crust.

                I think I'm getting the hang of this... two out of four loafs look to be exactly what I want.
