Banana and Walnut Tea Cake

This recipe has wheat flour instead of self raising flour for a healthier option as suggested by my friend Chandu. The leavening agents, soda-bi-carb and baking soda have been adjusted to compensate for using wheat flour and salt has been introduced. The cake was springy to touch but could have been a little more lighter. I am planning to bake this tea cake once again tomorrow and fine tune the proportions of the leavening agents and if required change the recipe.
