This is a simple cake which uses all our day to day healthy ingredients. The flavor is also great and is slightly similar to the Unniyappams of Kerala as it uses banana as the main ingredient. Its healthy too and uses less calorie items in its making. You can bake this in a loaf pan too and cut it like bread . You can also frost this cake and make it look more presentable but here I have made a simple version of it , which is good to go with the evening tea. It can be stored in airtight container in fridge for almost three days , just need to warm in microwave before use to have the fresh feel and to soften it .
Serving size: This recipe serves 4 in one go, so if you want to make a bigger serving then you can double the ingredients and use a bigger sized baking pan.
INGREDIENTS:
- Ripe banana - 3 (The more ripe it is the more sweet and moist the cake would be)
- Sifted all purpose four - 1 cup
- Granulated sugar - 1 cup (you can increase or decrease based on how sweet you need it and also how ripe the banana is)
- Eggs - 2 large
- Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt - a pinch (To neutralize the sweetness)
- Milk- 1/2 cup
- Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
- Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
- Butter - 1/2 stick
- Cashews, Walnuts, Pecans, Almond shavings and raisins - 1/2 cup
How to Prepare:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350F (180 Degrees).
Step 2: Sift the flour and add the baking powder , baking soda and salt.
Step 3: Mash the bananas.
Step 4: Beat the eggs, butter and sugar well with a hand beater till it turns smooth and fluffy.
Step 5: To the creamed mix add the flour little by little alternating with milk , beginning and ending with flour. Add the vanilla extract and mashed bananas and mix well with the beater till it is completely turned to a smooth batter.
Step 6: Grease a round pan with butter (I used the butter spray) and dust the bottom of the pan evenly with flour. (To prevent the cake from sticking at the bottom while baking )
Step 7: Mix the nuts and raisins into the batter and stir well. Spread the batter evenly on the pan and smooth its surface. Bake it for 35 minutes or till done . Check whether it is cooked by inserting a skewer into the cake, if it comes out clean then cake is cooked)
Step 8: Remove the cake from the pan and allow it to cool to room temperature. You can frost the cake if you want it more sweet and creamy (For the frosting recipe refer my carrot cake recipe) or you can have it warm with a hot cup of tea as evening snack.
