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.
