Steam banana Cupcakes

I have baked this steam cupcakes using very riped banana.  Since banana has the sweetness, i lesser the sugar intake.  The sweetness of the cake is slightly bland but the texture of the cake is soft and light.

Chocolate Chiffon Cake

Chiffon cake is always family's favourite as it has soft and light texture.  Baking this cake is not an easy task as it has to be just right in folding, whisking and stiring while mixing it.  Overdo or overbake can make the cake tenses, crack, sink in or whatever reasons. This is my first try and the outcome doesnt seem to be good but i would like to give it a try again.
