EGGLESS BANANA WALNUT CAKE | EGGLESS CAKE RECIPE | COOKER CAKE RECIPE

A flavourful cake with ripe bananas and Walnuts !



Wiki "gyan" about Cake
Cake is a form of bread or bread-like food. In its modern forms, it is typically a sweet baked dessert. In its oldest forms, cakes were normally fried breads or cheesecakes, and normally had a disk shape. Determining whether a given food should be classified as bread, cake, or pastry can be difficult. {source : Wiki}

Reason for making it :)
Had 4 bananas in the fruit basket which were completely ripe. Didn't want to peel them and gulp just like that. Instead, made minor changes to the Banana Walnut cupcake recipe that I read here, and Voila my flavourful BMW(Banana Meets Walnut) cake was ready in 40 minutes.

Why not, make it!!
For all those cake lovers, try this and enjoy homemade cake. Transform the otherwise boring bananas into a cake teaming it up with any nuts of your choice :)

Let's get started
INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4)
All Purpose flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Oil - 1/4 cup
Warm milk -1/4 cup
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Baking soda -1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp
Bananas - 4 (small variety)[2 if using big one]
Walnuts - 1/4cup+1tbsp

METHOD
  1. Sieve the dry ingredients[flour, baking soda and baking powder] twice for proper mixing
  2. Mash the bananas well. Add oil,sugar and vanilla essence to the mashed bananas
  3. Make a dent in the flour and add the wet ingredients and fold gently. Now add warm milk till you get dropping consistency of the batter. Add the walnuts and mix once gently
  4. Grease the cake tin with oil and pour the batter . Now add 1 tbsp of walnuts on the top
  5. Pre-heat the cooker. Place a stand inside the cooker. Place the cake tin ensuring it does not touch any side of the cooker. Close the cooker . Remove the gasket/rubber and weight from the lid.
  6. Let it cook on high flame for 5 minutes. Then, reduce to medium-low and let it cook for 30 minutes. Once the crust changes to golden colour and if the fork comes out clean from the centre , then the cake is cooked
  7. Let it in cooker for 5 minutes . Then remove and place in a wire rack. Let it cool for few minutes. Take it out carefully.
Notes
  • If you are a vegan, replace milk with lukewarm water. Milk/water is added for consistency purpose only.
  • For microwave baking, pre-heat at 180*C and bake for 30 minutes to 40 minutes or till the cake is done.
  • Baking in cooker is not safe for cooker. So keep one cooker dedicated for baking
  • Add salt / sand and then place the cake tin for more safe baking
  • You can replace flour with whole-wheat or multigrain flour.


Healthy and flavourful cake is ready! Above all, my fruit basket is empty now and my stomach is loaded with this BMW[Banana meets Walnut] cake :D
