Urgent receipe help needed Please!

Princess_Coupon

I am making low fat banana cake, literally as I type. The receipe is American and says all purpose flour is that plain? also says baking soda, is that baking powder or bicarb of soda? and is in cups as a measurement should I use a teacup type size cup?
Arrrrrrgggggggg!

All purpose is plain flour, and baking soda is baking powder!

Our local Poundland had a set of American cup measures, bought one for myself!

Actually, baking soda is bicarbonate of soda, but it shouldn't matter too much for a recipe like this.

A disaster!:(
it said cook for 60-70 mins I did it for 70 it had a cake like exterior but the inside was wet and doughy, infact it looked like the banana before I mashed it.

How disappointing

I've got a great recipe for banana choc chip muffins, but unfortunately it's not low fat.

Maybe it was your measurements: a cup is half an American pint i.e. 8 fluid ounces

Thanks for the cup conversion, my OH reckons there was too much banana in it, I'm going to try a different receipe instead, I am trying to get something similar to a Starbucks skinny muffin that are gorgeous.
