eggless banana cake recipe – a one bowl cake recipe of banana cake which is eggless as well as vegan. a quick and easy recipe which gives light, soft and moist cake.
this banana cake recipe has been adapted from my very popular tried and tested banana bread recipe. i have just increased the proportion of oil and a bit of bananas in this recipe to make it more lighter and soft. also reduced the amount of baking powder and added some chopped walnuts. not to forget the cake is made with whole wheat flour.
the cake was liked by everyone in the family and more so by my brother in law. banana cake has been his favorite cake since childhood. he said its one of the best banana cakes that he has had and it reminded him of the banana cakes that were made in vienna bakery in santacruz, mumbai.
the banana cake can be served plain as it is. you can also serve the cake slices with some whipped cream or if you want, frost the cake with butter or cream icing. a chocolate icing would also go very well. at home we prefer it plain to go with the evening cup of tea or as a sweet dessert snack.
lets start step by step eggless banana cake recipe:
1. take ripe or over ripe bananas. i have used here over ripe bananas. mash the bananas with a fork to a smooth consistency. there should be no chunks. you can also use a blender to mash the bananas.
2. add sugar, oil and vanilla extract.
3. stir very well so that the oil mixes with the banana puree and the sugar dissolves.
4. sieve whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt directly in the bowl.
5. fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients very well.
6. add the chopped walnuts and fold again. apart from walnuts, you can also add raisins, pistachios or any dry fruits of your choice. chocolate chips or cacao nibs can also be added. if you like spiced cakes, you can also add about 1/8 tsp of cinnamon or nutmeg powder in the cake.
7. pour the batter in a greased or lined loaf pan ( 7.5 x 4 x 2.5 inches) or round cake pan (7.5 x 2 inches).
8. bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C/350 degrees F for 45 to 50 mins or till tooth pick inserted in the cake comes out clean. the timing varies from oven to oven. please check notes below for more details. the orange yellowish color is due to incandescent lighting in my kitchen.
9. when warm or cooled, slice and serve eggless banana cake plain with tea or coffee.
