Simple Banana Cupcake

Initially, I planned to make Cookies n Cream Cupcake for our so called "Eat-All-You-Cat Fiesta". However, I changed my mind last minute, since I've a special request for Banana Cupcake, hehe. In order to enhance the flavor of banana, very riped banana should be used. I followed one of the recipes from Agnes's recipe book, but I did make some modification.

For half of the portion, I made some crumbs to be added on top of the cupcake. The crumb was made up of brown sugar, flour, butter and cinnamon powder, so it gave a sweet taste and crunchy texture. I didn't bring this portion for the Fiesta, because I don't think they look really good. Further more, the crumb will taste better if it's served hot.

As for the other half portion of the batter, I just decorated it with a piece of sliced banana.

Someone thought it's a piece of mushroom on top, and some said is kiwi...how come?

To share one recipe book I got as my Farewell gift, hehe. It will be added to my recipe book collection and maybe more cake baking in future? Hahaha...

A big thank you to my friends for this gift...really appreciate it :)
