Tried making a sponge cake for the first time

Demiurge_Ferikad@reddit

Looks like meat loaf, if I’m being honest. It would probably still taste good…if it wasn’t for that demon’s dick that was included in the recipe. That gustatory version of a grey goo scenario.

[-]

schwah@reddit

What is it with all you maniacs putting a whole banana in your baked goods lately? Don't nobody want that.

[-]

Nyllil@reddit

I thought it was a fricking cucumber...

[-]

lexi_raptor@reddit

I legit thought it was weird looking meatloaf with a hardboiled egg inside at first glance lol

[-]

LizM75@reddit

I thought it was a lemon. Like a hazelnut meatloaf with lemon slice.

[-]

gessikalinn@reddit

Legit, same. I was Hella confused about a cucumber. Not saying a whole banana isn't weird lol cause it totally is.

[-]

I don't know why but it's very amusing. Picturing someone eating a slice of cake with half a banana hidden inside. You would almost wonder what else would come out next. Hopefully we're laughing together OP because it's not intended any other way.

[-]

Granite_0681@reddit

I ate grilled bananas in Ecuador and they were the best thing ever. I came home and tried a lot of different methods and decided that cooking a whole banana is almost impossible to do well. The only way it works is if it’s caramelized, which it will never be in a baked good.

[-]

Incendas1@reddit

They might've been a different variety of banana. Some hold up better to heat

[-]

YourAverageGod@reddit

You sure you didn't have a plantain in Ecuador?

[-]

Granite_0681@reddit

It might have been but I remember our hosts calling them bananas even though we ate lots of plantains on the trip too. It was almost 20 yrs ago though so I can’t be sure.

[-]

Slash428@reddit

Nah you definitely had plantains and they are fried not grilled.

[-]

Granite_0681@reddit

They may have been plantains (although the English speakers we were staying with called them bananas while we also ate plantains) but they were definitely grilled. I am very familiar with maduros and tostones. This was a street food that we saw being made.

[-]

farm_to_nug@reddit

Absolute insanity

[-]

Juan_Moe_Taco@reddit

Right exactly need at least 4 bananas, a banana raft 4 bananas thick for floating on the mystery that is life if you will.

[-]

AlwaysTheIntrovert@reddit

It's for size comparison.

[-]

LizM75@reddit

Is that what that is???

[-]

I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM@reddit

I actually wouldn't mind. I wanna try it. Could be cool texturally

[-]

AccomplishedBoot442@reddit (OP)

Idk the banana was going to spoil soo....

[-]

tacotacotacorock@reddit

When they get nice and brown turn them into banana bread. That's typically the best route. Or banana muffins or something like that. Or if you catch them prior to that you can make some yummy banana cream pie.

If you like the taste of your dish just slice it up next time. You can mash it up but you might have to tweak your recipes and if it's very ripe reduce the sugar as part of your tweaks.

aravenlunatic@reddit

I like these: https://www.tablespoonbakingcompany.com/?p=294

[-]

LOTRfreak101@reddit

Or just freeze the banana and later dunk it in some melted chocolate and then refreeze it.

[-]

MickeyButters@reddit

Or freeze the banana and use them for potion shakes or smoothies

[-]

Try2MakeMeBee@reddit

Or freeze then serve sliced (still frozen) with heavy whipping cream and cinnamon sugar.

[-]

WateryTart_ndSword@reddit

Or freeze, and then when it has several more frozen banana friends, thaw them all and make banana bread!

[-]

mexodus@reddit

Or just you know … eat the banana!

[-]

WateryTart_ndSword@reddit

That’s crazy talk. Far too cutting edge.

[-]

Try2MakeMeBee@reddit

I don't like bananas nor does my spouse. Unless they're bread, mixed in a smoothie, or the frozen cream desert. My kids don't like the brown ones (and they know they're sweeter!).

So it’s compost, bread, or freeze over here.

[-]

hamdunkcontest@reddit

That sounds awesome.

[-]

Try2MakeMeBee@reddit

It's amazing. Was a special treat growing up.

[-]

kortiz46@reddit

You literally mash it up and incorporate it into the cake batter, why is this so hard

[-]

Easy-Concentrate2636@reddit

I think you should try making the sponge cake separately before getting too complex.

[-]

Dependent-Ground-769@reddit

So you macerate it into the dough you don’t drop it in whole that’s nasty

[-]

Endermemer@reddit

The banana is there for scale 🙄

[-]

honeyMully333@reddit

Is that a cucumber in the center ?

[-]

sati_lotus@reddit

It looks like you made pate.

[-]

thenotjoe@reddit

It looks like meat. Very soft meat. Or maybe tofu.

[-]

PuzzleheadedBag7450@reddit

Bananas and nuts ok.. everything except a sponge

gif

[-]

Kingston023@reddit

Looks like a piece of meatloaf with a banana shoved through the center. Alternately, whose banana fucked my meatloaf?

[-]

im-a-goner-@reddit

I thought that was meatloaf.

[-]

B3eenthehedges@reddit

Gee, I don't know, it's almost like the cucumber meat loaf is a dumb low effort AI rendering or something.

[-]

stopthevan@reddit

Well the hazelnut topping is pretty cute…

[-]

Timely-Supermarket99@reddit

Is this a meat loaf with a cucumber in it?

[-]

LeaningFaithward@reddit

This was my 1st thought too

[-]

ServantOfKarma@reddit

That looks exactly like meatloaf with a skinned cucumber in it. What kind of abomination have you created?!

[-]

Pretzeltheman@reddit

Good God it looks like a meatloaf someone jammed a skinned cucumber into for laughs.

[-]

Skreech2011@reddit

It looks like the paté cat food I give my cats made into loaf form. And...is that a whole banana just kind of...shoved in there?

[-]

uncleozzy@reddit

It looks so wet. Like chocolate bread pudding.

[-]

AccomplishedBoot442@reddit (OP)

I put too much milk in it

[-]

Rosaly8@reddit

There is no milk in sponge cake, did you just conjure up your own recipe?

[-]

LizM75@reddit

There’s a lot to unpack here.

[-]

uncleozzy@reddit

You’re allowed to bake it until it’s done though

[-]

AccomplishedBoot442@reddit (OP)

Got too impatient and wanted to eat it

[-]

LizM75@reddit

I love bananas all ways but this seems…

[-]

Krimreaper1@reddit

Is the secret ingredient cat food?

[-]

triphawk07@reddit

This looks like the banana bread someone posted earlier.

[-]

RoseofPain69@reddit

Looks like you forgot the sponge part of the cake

[-]

LostinQuiddity@reddit

I was like... why is it sitting in water?

[-]

WispontheWind@reddit

i dont think you're supposed to put an actual sponge in it

[-]

Parl1se@reddit

Didn't work

[-]

lIUwUIl@reddit

I swear I saw a cucumber in the middle, momentarily.

[-]

OkCity9683@reddit

You're taking all these haters like a champ. looks like a good way to experiment and not waste food!

[-]

AccomplishedBoot442@reddit (OP)

Are those hate? Cuz I'm laughing with the comments from how true they are lol.

[-]

OkCity9683@reddit

Oh this cake looks like shit learn to fucking cook.

There you go!

[-]

mousemarie94@reddit

Valuable_Nose_4693@reddit

[-]

Epicgrapesoda98@reddit

[-]

lizzydizzy0201@reddit

[-]

Flowkey_mma@reddit

Was the secret ingredient an actual sponge?

[-]

BumblebeeCharming949@reddit

Looks like banana meatloaf.

[-]

Monsterbb4eva@reddit

I don’t even know the anger I would’ve had biting into that was a banana…

[-]

DM-G@reddit

That looks like 10/10 meatloaf

[-]

bgufo@reddit

9/10 Meatloaf, as I am not sure about the banana in the middle, but willing to try... Meat good, banana good

[-]

NidhoggAlpha@reddit

Im thinking of it as an egg.

[-]

boston_nsca@reddit

I'm going with garlic because I don't need nightmares tonight

[-]

sparragus-P@reddit

I thought it was a pickle lol

[-]

Snackafark-of-Emar@reddit

Yeah I thought this was one of them gala pies, with the long tube of egg running thru the middle.

[-]

tomwhoiscontrary@reddit

Pork meatloaf with a banana, Hawaiian style! Don't @ me.

[-]

thelastdinosaur55@reddit

Meatloaf with a cucumber in the middle.

[-]

AccomplishedBoot442@reddit (OP)

It's supposed to be a chocolate cake

[-]

Martha_Fockers@reddit

Was it you who baked a banana bread for a friend and shoved a whole banana in it

[-]

FormidableDilligence@reddit

Gnar thank you

[-]

wellforthebird@reddit

I thought it was meatloaf with an egg in the middle, which actually sounds pretty good, if you could keep the egg runny.

[-]

AbsAndAssAppreciator@reddit

Mf is that meatloaf

[-]

cat_0n_ster0ids@reddit

bro made brick cake

[-]

keIIzzz@reddit

Why does it look wet

[-]

MacAneave@reddit

SPAM?!

[-]

sohcordohc@reddit

Looks like meatloaf with hotdogs!

[-]

anthonystank@reddit

Genuine question. When you say “tried making a sponge cake,” what does that mean to you? Did you follow a recipe for sponge cake? Do you know what a sponge cake is? Or did you just try to make something that could be described as cake?

[-]

AccomplishedBoot442@reddit (OP)

I followed a yt shorts recipe

[-]

anthonystank@reddit

You were doomed from the start 💀

[-]

SmokeMoreWorryLess@reddit

I would be downright upset if I cut into a piece of cake and got a bite of slimy, gross banana. At least mash it up and mix it in.

[-]

AccomplishedBoot442@reddit (OP)

Got it next time I'll do it.

[-]

isitmy_turn@reddit

It's giving beef rib

[-]

FilmOrnery3858@reddit

I thought that was a cucumber at first

[-]

Greenroses23@reddit

Nuts on cat food

[-]

nsweeney11@reddit

Did you try making it out of ground beef?

[-]

RangeWolf-Alpha@reddit

Cucumber meatloaf?

[-]

jfk_47@reddit

Looks so, wet.

[-]

Amenagrabel@reddit

Banana for scale, inside whatever that thing is

[-]

nessaroseee@reddit

it looks like pate cat food 💀

[-]

UpdateInProgress@reddit

yesterday’s bullet banana cake vibes

[-]

SkyeRibbon@reddit

Nice ribs man

[-]

DameDoe@reddit

My first thought was oh, live pâté cake àwith barbeque sauce! ...and a whole banana inside with hazelnuts on top..

[-]

LilScooterBooty@reddit

Why does it look like steak

[-]

Same_Translator7409@reddit

now if you wouldn’t of said it was sponge cake i would of said it looked nice

[-]

U5e4n4m3@reddit

Why does this meatloaf have a cucumber in it?

[-]

Artikzzz@reddit

Remove the fucking banana and it kinda looks fine

[-]

Late_Date_5525@reddit

At first I thought it is a really good prepared piece of meat

With a banana inside

[-]

Puzzleheaded_Tap5985@reddit

Is this what you kids call “rage bait”?

[-]

poloniumpanda@reddit

i thought this was meatloaf

[-]

l3ntoo@reddit

I thought it was a piece of meat with a bone inside.

[-]

Spangling@reddit

I really thought that was a cucumber in that cake for a second. Happy to hear it’s a banana.

[-]

AmElzewhere@reddit

Why is it leaking?

[-]

tacotacotacorock@reddit

Haven't made a sponge cake in a long time. From looking at your picture though I suspect you might have mixed it to death. Sponge cake needs a lot of air bubbles. Possibly your ingredient ratios were off, lastly it could be an ingredient substitution like butter for margarine or maybe you already know the problem.

The one good thing about chocolate cake is unless you really screwed up the recipe it usually still tastes good.
