I have been experimenting with the Pillsbury Cake Mixes recently. Oh I could say I baked every different SKUs on Saturday. After baking I allocated out to my neighbours and Ah Mah’s house cos I don’t really like cakes.
Last Saturady I tried the Pillsbury Yellow Cake and added in some bananas to make Banana Cupcake for the kids. The end result is not too bad but I still think it is a bit sweet. Even Dearie Suki also complaint to me it is too sweet. Well reason could be :
Pillsbury Yellow Cake Mix ( Sweet ) + Banana ( Sweet ) = Super Sweet

The instruction at the back of the box required 3 eggs, 1/3 cups oil and 1 1/3 cups water. So I tweak the recipe a bit and the result of the cake is good. Moist, soft and fluffy but damn sweet.
What I do is :
1 box Pillsbury Yellow Cake Mix
1 1/3 cups milk
1/3 butter, melted
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups banana, mashed
Mix everything and beat at high speed for about 3 minutes. Then scoop batter into the cup and bake at 180 DC for about 15 - 20 minutes. I think the next round I bake again I will add 2 tbsp of flour so that it won’t be that sweet. But both Le-Ann and Ee-Thern love it and can wacked 3 cupcakes at one go.
