Banana Bread

Baked this bread yesterday, looked just like banana cake hor! Heehee... But it does fits what the recipe say: "Center should be soft and chewy, while the outside, crisp and crunchy."

Recipe (Quoted: All Recipes)

Ingredients
55 g butter, softened
200 g white sugar
1 egg
3 ripe bananas, mashed
250 g all-purpose flour
5 g baking soda
3 g salt

Method
1. Preheat oven to 175C. Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg and mashed bananas. Mix in flour and baking soda just until combined. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. If top begins to brown too quickly, decrease heat slightly. Center should be soft and chewy, while the outside, crisp and crunchy.

My comments for this bake:
1) I did not reduce the temperature when top becomes brown, but I covered it with aluminium foil.
