Banana Cake

26th January is a time for double celebration! It is the Indian Republic Day as well as the Australia day.
To celebrate this wonderful day in Aussie style, I prepared this wonderful banana cake.
The aroma of the baking banana cake fills the whole house with joy!



Ingredients:

Whole meal self raising flour - 1 cup
Raw sugar - 3/4th cup
Eggs - 1
Vanilla essence - 2 tsp
Butter/ghee - 2 tbsp
Warm milk - 1/4th cup
Ripe banana - 1
Nuts (Optional)

Procedure:
1. Mash the ripe banana with your hand and keep it aside.
2. Take a mixing bowl and add the whole meal self raising flour and the raw sugar.
3. Add in the egg, butter and vanilla essence and mix.
4. Add the mashed banana and add in warm milk gradually mixing it with the ingredients.
5. Finally add in the nuts and mix well. The batter is ready.
6. Grease the baking tray with butter. Pour in the prepared batter and spread it uniformly.
7. Sprinkle some nuts on the top.
8. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes and bake the cake for around 20 minutes. 
9. The baking time depends on the oven. Insert a fork in the cake. If it comes out clean, cake is ready.
10. Once ready, place it on a wire rack to cool down.



The delicious banana cake is ready.
Cut it into slices and serve it with a cup of hot chai!
