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.
