Resepi cnp dari potret kasih...potret kasih amik dari joy of baking...nanti dikesempatan lain saya terjemahkan.terjemahan saya cilok dari blog kak yati....baru perasan dah lama buat kek ni...gula tu saya kurangkan jadi 11/2 cup ajer sbb pisang tu dah manis....air saya guna sejuk sbb malas nak masak air....hehehe....sabo je la....pastu saya guna blender untuk bahan2 cecair termasuk pisang...pastu baru satukan dgn adunan tepung. Rasa pisangnya tak dominan sgt dan memang lembab walau pun dimakan sebelum betul2 sejuk.....ok la kalau sesekali nak tukar selera...
