Eggless Semolina and Banana Cake

P1060157

hi!

Finally I made it to posting something. Today is my SIL’s birthday so thought of making something sweet, now that I’m so time bound and hardly find time to cook anything exotic I tried this simple cake which is completely no fuss version and tastes really good. Since I have my parents and MIL staying with me these days I opted to make an eggless cake. I had some frozen bananas which I  finally brought to good use…

 

This cake took just 15-20 minutes to bake, and it turned out soft and amazingly flavoured with banana. We all relished it, especially my dad who has a sweet tooth.

I am still going very busy and have not checked your blogs in the last few weeks, kindly bear with me for the time being and keep visiting.

Finally I must say Happy Birthday G, hope the year ahead is rocking and happening for you. Have a great day with P and M.

Ingredients

1 cup semolina

1 cup mashed banana

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking pwd

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 tsp. cardamom pwd

Method

Mix separately all the dry ingredients together and wet ingredients together.

Now mix the dry ingredients thoroughly  into the wet ingredients, do not over do it.

Stand for 10 minutes. Bake in a greased square dish at 180C for 15-20 minutes. Check after 15 minutes, if the toothpick comes out clean, do not over bake else it turns hard.

Cool and cut into squares.

I added cardamom as a flavouring agent but even nutmeg tastes good with banana.
