Banana Jelly Cake -Happy Birthday Mr Ng

I had been searching for a banana recipe cake for quite some time. As it was my colleague's birthday yesterday, I wanted to make a small like cake for him. He loves bananas, anything as long there are bananas contained...^-^

I had made a Chocolate Banana Cake before, so have I did Banana Muffins & Butter Cake. I really had no idea what else I can do with bananas....

I happened to see this recipe, so instead I tried it with bananas... I wondered how it will taste like... :-p

BANANA JELLY CAKE

I had to fiddle with the jelly as the cake shrunk a little after baked. I had to "cover the side of the cake so that when I put the jelly inside, it will not touch the side of the cake.
I had spread Nutella in between the cake layer.
For the top part, I spread chocolate whipped cream and placed the bananas on top before pouring the jelly over the cake.

Texture of the cake is abit dry, jelly, which I used the normal agar-agar powder, might be abit hard as well.... But it wasn't too bad....

There, after some "trimming" for the cake, and pipe wordings on the cake....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR NG!!!
