Category: Cake

Serves: 10 pieces

Cook time: 40 Minutes

Total time: 50 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 240ml All Purpose flour / Maida - 1 cup Baking powder - 1 tsp Baking soda - 1/4 tsp Over ripen banana - 2 nos ( I used Yelakki) Sugar - 1/4 cup ( add 1/3 cup for more sweetness) Cooking oil - 3 tbsp ( Use odourless oil) Lemon juice/Vinegar - 1 tsp Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

METHOD

In a wide bowl, take the ripe banana, mash well with a ladle or fork. You can mash it in a mixie too. Grease a baking pan/loaf pan with oil and sprinkle maida all over the pan. Take a bowl and sieve maida, baking powder, baking soda.Mix well and set aside. To the mashed banana, add sugar, cooking oil, vanilla essence, lemon juice and mix well till sugar dissolves ( you can add powdered nutmeg or cinnamon for more flavor). To this, add the sieved maida mixture.Mix well. You will get a thick batter. Spoon in the batter to the greased baking pan.You can also sprinkle choco chips, chopped walnuts to the batter. Preheat oven in convection mode at 180c. Keep the loaf pan and bake the cake for 35-40 minutes. Keep an eye after 30 minutes.Top of the cake turns golden and if you insert a tooth pick,it should come clean. This is the indication for the doneness of cake. Once the cake is baked, remove and set aside for 5 minutes. Invert in a plate and remove it. Cake will fall off easily. Cut into slices and serve with hot tea/coffee ! Enjoy !

Note

Adjust the quantity of sugar after tasting the dough. Do not reduce baking powder & baking soda. Keep an eye after 30 minutes of baking because over baking makes the cake hard n chewy. Batter would be semi thick and spoonable but should not be hard and crumbly. If you feel the batter is too hard, add a tbsp of milk and bring it to semi solid consistency. For variations, you can add chopped walnuts, Chocolate chips or even tutti frutti.

Enjoy this yummy cake for your tea time !! It tastes soft n smells good.

I have tried eggless chocolate cake with condensed milk for my black forest cake recipe. So I was looking for a recipe without condensed milk & butter. I came across this recipe Sharmis blog, made a small change and tried it. It came out very well. I have baked this cake so many times for Raksha’s school Christmas & New year party but without icing. I just made a simple decoration by drizzling some Hershey’s chocolate syrup and sprinkled some sugar balls. All her friends loved the cake and asked her whether your mom is a chef. This was the best complement I’ve ever received for my baking.
