I am not a baker. I have recently started bread, but am still very much a neophyte.
Today, I found myself with a surplus of bananas and decided to try making some "banana bread". I don't consider it to be bread at all, but rather, cake.
Whatever, I found a recipe that sounded like something I could handle, bought what I didn't have and set to work. The kitchen smells great and something cake like has emerged from the oven. It doesn't matter at all - I will be the only one eating it - but, as you can see it is rather cracked on top.
I'm just wondering what caused that and what I should do in future if I feel the need to create a perfect un-cracked cake. I'm sure some of you master bakers know the answer.
