Banana Walnut Cake

 Here is my quick and easy recipe for a healthy banana cake. A must-try if you have ripe bananas in your pantry

                   

            

Ingredients

 1cup =250ml

Whole wheat flour, 1 ½ cups

Baking powder, 1 tsp

Baking soda, 1/4 tsp

Salt, a pinch

Cinnamon powder, ½ tsp

Banana, 3 nos. or 1 ½ cup (mashed)

Eggs (room temperature), 2 nos.

Organic brown sugar, ¾ cup 

Olive oil,120 ml

Walnuts (finely chopped), 2 tbs

Preparation

• Grease a cake tin with oil on all sides. Dust lightly with one tablespoon of flour and tap off any excess. 
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder, then sieve twice and set aside.
• Mash the banana with a fork and set aside.
• Beat the eggs in a wide dry bowl for two minutes or until fluffy. 
• Add sugar and beat again for two minutes.
• Scrape down the sides and mix with a spatula.
• Add oil, vanilla essence, and beat for thirty seconds.
• Add mashed banana and beat for another 30 seconds. 
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold with a spatula to combine well (until the flour disappears).
• Gently fold in the chopped nuts.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking tin. Tap it twice to get rid of air bubbles. Sprinkle a few walnuts on top. 
• Bake the cake in the preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for 40 minutes.
• After 40 minutes, insert a toothpick to the centre. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
