In this lockdown we are struggling to use over ripe bananas and my son is always behind me not to waste food. We got fed up eating his whole wheat banana chocolate mug cake so decide to make a proper cake and share with some of my friends in the time of social distancing. Again a simple one but healthier
Ingredients
- Whole wheat flour- 1 cup
- Brown sugar- ½ cup
- Over ripe bananas mashed- 3
- Oil- 1/3 cup
- Eggs -2 ( you can skip eggs and add ½ cup curd and 1tsp Baking Soda)
- Pinch of salt
- 1tsp Vanila essence
- 1+1/2 tsp Baking powder
- ½ cup nuts, choco chips etc of your choice
Method
- Beat the oil and sugar together in a bowl
- Add eggs one by one and then the banana
- Now add Flour, Baking powder, Vanilla essence and lightly fold in the mixture
- Add the nuts and put in a cake tin of 7 inch
- Preheat the oven at 180 degree and bake the cake at 180 degree for 35-40 min or till toothpick comes out clean
- Let the cake cool before you take it out
Suggestion : In case you want a chocolate flavour in it then reduce the flour by 1 tbsp and Add coco powder in place of it. In nuts I prefer walnuts compared to other nuts, but you can use any.
As usual a real yummy cake that I will be making soon
Hey Deepti…made the banana walnut cake yesterday on Easter…in fact your post reminded me to make one!! The recipe I have is a lot like yours….just that I made it with two ripe bananas (had only two!). Came out pretty decent :). I will try the chocolate flavour tip of yours next time (luckily i have some coco powder at home). Thanks again! 🙂
Great to hear
Can i use a 9 * 9 tin for this recipe? Do i need to lower the temperature if i do so?
it is fine u can use 9 inch tin.. temprature will be same but baking time may reduce.. u can check in 30 min otherwise bake it more
