The week seems so long (thanks to the self-isolation period) that I have been learning and trying a lot of new recipes. Of course, I can’t buy or hoard any exotic vegetables/ingredients during this time, so the cake is prepared with very minimal ingredients and easily baked in a Kadai. Super convenient and easier.
Preparation time: 60 minutes
Ingredients required:-
Ripe Bananas – 2
1 cup of sugar
1/4th cup oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4th tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour/ wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Chocolate chips- (used Hersheys) – Optional
Walnuts- chopped
Cashews- chopped
Dry raisins – chopped
Almond strands
Olive oil – for greasing
- Begin with chopping the ripe bananas
- Add them to a blender. In the blender, add 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, 1/4th cup oil, 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder, 1/4th tsp salt. Blend well.
- After Blending, in a bowl, sieve and add the all purpose flour/ wheat flour to the above mixture.
- Add 1 tsp Baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, chocolate chips and the nuts mentioned (according to your choice). Mix the content well.
- Grease the Kadai with olive oil and pre-heat in medium flame.
- Pour the batter in the Kadai.
- Allow it cook under medium flame and close the Kadai in a Glass lid.
- Cook for 50 minutes.
- Check if the content is thoroughly cooked by placing a tooth pick in the middle of the cake or a knife, if it is sticky then let it cook for some more time.
- If it is cooked, allow it cool. Cut corners and place a chop board on top and invert the kadai.
- Serve the cake during tea time. It can also be had with Vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream or maybe chocolate cream.
