Banana Sooji Cake
(Naturally Sweetened • No Maida • Eggless • Tea-Time Treat)

“An underrated gem—this Banana Sooji Cake deserves the spotlight!”

🍌 Why Banana Sooji Cake is Underrated:

▪︎ Sooji is rarely used in cakes — mostly seen in upma or halwa.
▪︎ Banana cakes usually use wheat or maida, not semolina.
▪︎ Few posts or recipes online – it’s not widely shared.
▪︎ Healthier bakes focus on oats/almond flour, so this gets missed.
▪︎ Traditional + healthy combo is overlooked by modern bakers.

This Banana Sooji Cake is a wholesome twist on the usual banana bake — made with semolina (sooji), ripe banana, yogurt, ghee, and raw sugar.
✨ No maida, no eggs, no fuss — just naturally sweet, soft, and nutty goodness in every bite!

Topped with golden raisins, walnuts & saffron for that extra charm ✨
Enjoy it warm with chai or chilled with coffee 💛
