Ripened Banana - 200gm
Large Eggs - 4
Castor sugar - 140 g (Original recipe says 160g)
Boiled Milk - 40g
Maida/All Purpose Flour - 160 g
Baking Powder - 1tsp

Pre-Preparation

Preheat 180C.And grease a cake tin.

Method

• Using a fork mash the ripened banana's.Sift the APF/Maida flour with baking powder and baking soda atleast twice.In a bowl add the mashed banana's,sugar,milk.Using a hand-mixer whisk them at high speed atleast for 3minutes.

• Lowering the speed of the hand-mixer add the essence.Later add the flour.Using a spatula mix the flour.While adding the flour ensure no lumps are formed.To avoid it add the flour in batches and mix well.

• Finally add the oil and mix well until the oil has well incorporated with the batter.

• Pour the batter to the greased tin and bake for 40-50 minutes at 180C.

•  Mine got ready in 40 minutes.

Enjoy the cake

Note

• Although the original recipe calls for corn oil  and cake stabilizer .I used Refined sunflower oil and I omitted the stabilizer.
• Ensure you use large eggs.
• You can mash the banana's in mixer also,instead of fork.I used mashed them in my mixer.
• Original recipe uses 160g sugar but i thought banana's have a sweet nature by itself so reduced the amount.The outcome of my cake was perfect in a sweet taste,not sweeter.
