Moist Banana Cake


The microwave method. Simple and easy method of making using mushy, soft bananas not fit for eating.

I used half of the ingredients listed below-
Ingredients:
Banana – 2( well ripened, soft, mushy)
Egg – 1( use only half of one egg for this quantity)
Vanilla essence– 1/2 tsp
Unsalted Butter – 7-8 tbsp
Brown sugar – 8 tbsp
(Ordinary sugar can be used, I used brown sugar since I was making it in the microwave and it would add to the colour)
All purpose flour / refined flour ( Maida) – 280 - 300 gms ( 1 cup)
Cooking soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt – pinch
Nuts – cashew, almonds, raisins – about 5-10 gms each.

Mash banana well.
Put in a blender.
Add the butter and sugar – blend on low speed
Pour in the egg mixture – and just blend for a few secs.
Add the soda and the pinch of salt and the vanilla essence.
Pour in a bowl.
Fold in flour gradually.
Add the nuts.
Grease a glass bowl.
Pour in the mixture
And microwave on low heat about 4-5 minutes or till a knife comes out cleanly.
Loosen the sides
Turn on to a plate.
Slice and eat.

  1. Amazing! You are so brilliant! In a bowl no less! Perfect!

    Just one question...how in the world do you use 1/2 an egg. Did you beat it first and then try and split it? Oh my gosh....it is so 'slimy' it must be hard...I've always wondered how people do this. Got any tips?!
