INGREDIENTS
Ripe bananas – 2 (medium sized)
Whole wheat flour – 1.5 cups
Powdered sugar – 3/4 cup

HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE EGGLESS BANANA CAKES
Take a mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and chop them.
Mash the bananas with the back of a spoon or a blender. Then add powdered sugar, oil, salt and vanilla essence.
Mix well till the sugar and oil is well blended to make a smooth puree. Sieve the whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda directly into the bowl.
With the help of a ladle, mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture will become a thick paste. Now add the nuts of your choice. Now pour the batter into the greased cake tin and tap it gently so that the batter is spread evenly in the tin and extra air bubbles are let out.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degree celcius for 30-35 minutes or till done. Check the cake by inserting a toothpick and if it comes out clean, it means the cake is ready. Also when it leaves the sides of the pan, then the cake is ready.
Remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool down for 10 minutes in the pan. Run a butter knife on the edges of the pan to loosen the sides. Invert the tin over a plate or a wiring rack and lightly tap on the cake pan. Let the cake cool down completely.
Cut the cake into desired shapes and enjoy.
NOTES/TIPS
Baking time varies with different ovens. Hence bake it accordingly.
Always check the cake with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, then the cake is ready.
The batter should be half of the pan before baking it.
Adjust the sugar according to your taste.
You can replace wheat flour with maida/all-purpose flour
