Banana Cake

Banana cake

Ingredients:

  1. Bananas – 2-3
  2. All purpose flour (Maida) – 1 1/2 cup
  3. Butter/Vegetable oil – 1/2 cup
  4. Sugar – 1 cup
  5. Egg – 1
  6. Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
  7. Baking soda – 1 tsp
  8. Salt – a pinch
  9. Nuts (Cashews/Almonds) – 1/4 cup
  10. Raisins – 1/4 cup

Method:

  •  Mash the bananas nicely and mix the butter and sugar with it.
  •  Beat the egg separately and add it to the above mixture.
  •  Add the salt and baking soda to the flour.
  •  Add this flour mixture to the wet ingredients mixing continuously by hand or using a hand mixer until everything is incorporated nicely.
  •  Mix the raisins with little dry flour. This will prevent it from sinking to the bottom.
  •  Finally add the nuts, raisins and vanilla extract and fold together using a patula.
  •  Pour the mixture into a greased pan and bake for 25- 35 minutes in a oven preheated to 350 degree F.
  •  Check if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. It should come out clean.
