Eggless Banana Walnut Cake!

A very easy Cake recipe which comes out perfect every time! I have tried it a couple of times. A great way to use up the ripe bananas!









Ingredients:
  • All Purpose flour/Maida/- 1 cup 
  • Baking Powder - 1tsp.
  • Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt - 1/4 tsp.
  • Walnuts - 1/4 cup (roughly chopped).
  • Cardamom- 1-2 pods.( powdered).
  • Brown sugar- 1/2 cup.( add more or less according to taste).
  • Regular sugar- 3 Tbsp.
  • Curd- 1/4 cup.(Thick).
  • Vegetable oil-1/4 cup( used canola) do not use olive or other oil that smells as it interferes with banana flavor.
  • Ripe banana-1.
  • Vanilla essence-1 tsp.
      
Method :



  • First preheat the oven at 355 degree F. Line the baking pan with parchment paper and grease the inside so the cake comes out easily.
  • Add the flour, and other dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well with a whisk.
  • To this bowl add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix till combined.
  • I ground the banana and made it like a smoothie. If you want just smash it and add.
  • Lastly add the cardamom powder and walnut coated with the dry flour.( so it spreads evenly in the batter).
  • Pour the batter into the baking pan. 
  • Bake it for 40-50 mins or untill a tooth pick inserted in the cake comes out clean. For me it took 50 mins.( keep checking after 35 mins).
  • When it is done, take it out and Keep it aside. The cake will feel  hard and crusty first but allow it to cool completely , approximately 1-2 hours. Then serve.
  • The flavor intensifies after sometime and the cake gets soft as it sits for few hours.

Note: 
You can use Cinnamon if you like the flavor instead of Cardamom..
If the batter it too thick just add little water to make it to pouring consistency.
