While you try to make banana bread<\/a>, one of the most popular baking items, various issues can arise, but you can sort it out with little care. We have tried to give a solution to the six common mistakes that occur while baking banana bread<\/a>. So, if you are pondering,’ Why is my banana bread turning out gummy?; then follow the instructions and enjoy perfect baking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six common reasons the banana bread turns gummy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> Insufficient baking time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you mix the dough, please set the correct time and the timer accordingly. This might occur that you have put a timing and have successfully accomplished a baking item, but the same time and process may still need to be completed for another composition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you are required to mix the ingredients in exact proportions and then set the timing accordingly. While adding baking powder, I want you to know that there are more air pockets as the baking proceeds. The air pockets are responsible for the sponginess of the cake, anyways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2<\/strong>. Underbaking kills<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whenever the mixture is baked below the stipulated time, then the texture of the resultant bake would be gummy and moist. the result is that you will feel the gum in every bite, making the entire stuff quite incapable of consumption. You must add some flavor ingredients, like cardamom powder or vanilla essence, to\u00a0neutralize the smell of raw banana.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3<\/strong>. Testing the readiness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can make out from the look of the resultant baking product<\/a> that the product might be ready. The ultimate thing you can do is put a prick inside if you are baking in an oven. This can be done only when the cake is almost eighty percent done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ready texture will leave no dough on the surface of the prick. If the item is not ready, there will be strains of mixture on the surface of the prick. A readiness test can be the best way to check the quality of the bake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Too much moisture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When baking a cake, you must be very particular about the ingredients you are putting in. If you are using milk to soften the dough, take it in lesser proportions. Sometimes, if you prepare gummy banana bread, bake it for a while. If you are consuming undercooked eggs, there can be chances of infection by Salmonella typhi.<\/em> Bananas are known to attract moisture, Hence, if you are putting too much of bananas, then that can act to moisten the content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add some unripe bananas and then take the dough to drain the excess water in it. You might have messed up with the baking powder and put the wrong proportions. You could have used the wrong pan, or it may need to be fixed with your oven. Anyways, after you have rectified the content of the cake, you can place the semi-cooked cake back into the oven and start baking at a lower temperature.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are cooking an undercooked cake, there are probabilities that you can correct in the following ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
