EGGLESS BANANA WALNUT CAKE

    Yet another Eggless & Butterless Cake recipe - Banana Walnut Cake. Impressed by my previous Eggless Marble Cake & Eggless Orange Cake, I am using the same recipe to experiment it with flavours, and I am getting overall good results. My premonition about Eggless & Butterless cakes has changed drastically, and I've started to love them. Above all, I can incorporate it within no time that I quickly mix up & bake these cakes on the go within no time.

    Whenever I make or buy Banana Cakes, I have always felt that it had a mild note of Eggy smell somewhere. An Eggy smell in baked goodies is something I do not like. So when my Eggless Cake recipes turned out to be foolproof, I started to try new variations with loads of fruit flavours, and this Eggless Banana Walnut Cake is one among them. This cake recipe turned out to be extra soft & fluffy with the welcoming Banana Flavour, and it got over within no time.

    Banana & Walnut Cake is moist, fluffy, full of flavours & it comes with a mild crunchiness. What's great about this Banana Cake Recipe is that it takes less preparation time. This Banana Cake recipe is a simple, yet foolproof recipe. And all the more it also leaves room for an additional mix of flavours, nuts etc., Banana & Walnuts go hand in hand & I love to add some Walnuts in Banana Cakes, which gives a place for crunchy bites in between the soft and moist cakes. Also, the flavour is not so overwhelming that the real aroma of Banana Cake does not get lost in the midst of it. You can add any other Nuts of your choice or can add Chocolate Chips instead of nuts in this banana cake.

NOTES:

• For easy removal, ensure there is an inch of baking paper (parchment paper) overhanging the edge of the baking pan.
• For the best tasting vanilla cake, stick to flavourless vegetable oil. In my Opinion, Sunflower Oil/Canola Oil works best.
• Be careful not to over mix the batter. Otherwise, the cake will be dense and heavy.
• This is a mildly sweet cake, Can adjust the amount of sugar to suit your preference. 
• I have used 3/4 Cup of mashed Banana in this recipe.
• The Cake was moist & rich with Banana Flavour with a crunchiness from the Walnuts.
• Do not over-bake the cake. It continues to cook in the pan as it cools.
• Adjust the baking time according to your oven settings.
