“I came across 'Banana Cake VI' (Allrecipes has many) while looking for a dressed-up alternative to my usual dowdy, loaf-tin banana breads. The recipe was uploaded to Cakerecipe.com in 1999 by Cindy Carnes, a licensed nurse living in Iowa. It was a large, tray-bake-style banana cake with cream-cheese frosting and a preternaturally moist crumb-- a recipe given to Carnes by a friend she had gone to visit. Buttermilk and lemon juice add gentle acidity, sharpening the banana flavor and keeping the fruit from browning so much; baking soda-- rather than baking powder-- gives instant lift. The real trick, though, is the technique. You cook the cake in a low oven, lower than most people would trust is going to work, but for a very long time. Then, you put it into the freezer for forty-five minutes, right after you've pulled it out of the oven, to arrest the cooking process. It's a smart idea, especially for a large cake, given how often the edges get overbaked before the centre is set. Carnes told me, of the friend who gave her the recipe, 'her son worked in a bakery in St Louis, and he said, "That's what we do with all of our cakes." I told her, "We need to share this with the world.”

“This was why she enjoyed baking. A good dessert could make her feel like she'd created joy at the tips of her fingers. Suddenly, the people around the table were no longer strangers. They were friends and confidantes, and she was sharing with them her magic.”
