This eggless Banana walnut cake is something I can gorge without feeling the least bit guilty. Only 2 teaspoons of fat added, and with quite a bit of whole wheat flour, this is a nice way to indulge without worrying about the after-effects. The ingredients might seem a bit too many, but the simplicity of the recipe will make you forget about that.Even my Mom swears by it :)

Steps

45 mins

1

Sieve the following together: Flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder (if using), cinnamon powder, vanilla powder and salt. Set aside
2

In a blender, mix the following and make a smooth paste: bananas, sugar, yoghurt, about 2 tablespoons of milk.
3

Add the banana paste to the dry ingredients, and mix thoroughly, stirring without lumps
4

To the mixture, add the ghee/butter, chocolate syrup, walnuts and raisins. Mix well again.
5

In case the batter seems too thick, dilute it with very little milk. The batter should not be runny. When you try dropping the batter with a spoon, it should fall in big globs.
6

Add the batter to a greased (for this particular recipe, I prefer not to dust the pan, just grease it) cake tray or muffin tray. Bake at 150 C in a pre-heated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or till a fork inserted into the cake comes out clean.
7

Makes one 7" cake, or about 10 muffins.
