Banana cake
Banana cake is a pleasant childhood memory. I remember visiting a relative and eating this cake at their house. My sister and I loved the cake so our mother asked our aunt what it was made of and she was surprised that it was made with bananas. My sister hates bananas but she relished this cake.😅
After so many years, when we recalled this memory, I wanted to try and make this cake but none of us remembered the whole recipe. After browsing through several different recipes, here's my version of the recipe which turned out really well.
Whenever we bake a cake, we don't really have the patience to let it cool completely and we tend to eat it while it's still warm.😋 And I have to tell you this cake tastes great when it's warm! Do try this cake recipe and let me know how you enjoyed it!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat ghee/butter in a pan. Add semolina and roast well till it turns golden brown and you can smell the aroma. Remove from flame and let it cool. (If the semolina isn't fine grind it in a mixer prior to roasting.)
- 2
In a bowl, mash the bananas well and make it into a puree. You can also grind the bananas in a blender to make the puree.
- 3
Add the powdered sugar to banana puree and whisk it well with a beater (You may adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste and the sweetness of the bananas).
- 4
Add 3-4 tablespoons of curd and give it a whisk.
- 5
Add vanilla essence, baking powder and baking soda and mix well.
- 6
Add the roasted semolina to this mixture and mix well to avoid the lumps. Adjust the consistency of the cake batter by adding milk or a spoon of wheat flour as required.
- 7
Grease the baking tin with ghee/butter and dust it with a teaspoon of refined flour.
- 8
Heat the pressure cooker on low flame with lid closed for 5-8 minutes and keep a stand in it. Remove the whistle and gasket from the lid.
- 9
Pour the cake batter into the greased baking tin and give it a tap to let it spread evenly.
- 10
Sprinkle chopped dry fruits of your choice on the top. I used chopped almonds.
- 11
Place the baking tin with cake batter in the cooker and bake for about 20 minutes or till done. Check if it's baked well by putting a toothpick or knife in the cake. If it comes out clean switch off the heat. If the batter sticks to it, bake for few more minutes and check again.
- 12
Let it cool for 25-30 minutes and then demould the cake after loosening the sides with a knife and flipping it over a plate. Cut into slices and serve. The banana cake tastes great while it's still warm.

10 Minute Bakery Banana Cake 10 Minute Bakery Banana Cake
"10 Minute Prep! Bakery Banana Cake"is my family's standard recipe. But when I want to make it a little richer for our guests, or as a gift, I add almond flour to the batter.Use fully ripened bananas. I use a small amount of sugar for this cake because of the sweetness of the fruit.Always bring the butter and eggs to room temperature. If they are cold, they will separate and won't mix well.To cut the cake nicely, remove the cake from the cake pan, let it cool on a rack before slicing into it. Recipe by Puru berry.

Ultimate Moist Banana Cake Ultimate Moist Banana Cake
I've tried making lots of different banana cakes, but if I mixed in lots of bananas, the cake would always be too heavy. I tried thinking up a recipe where I could still use lots of bananas but result in a light yet satisfying cake,. I was aiming for something between a genoise and a pound cake. You can definitely taste the banana, but this cake is still soft and moist and has the best balance of any cake I've made until now.I recommend using fully ripened bananas. If the bananas aren't fully ripe then increase the amount of sugar. Even with ripe bananas, this is not very sweet. I also recommend using unsalted butter. After baking, let the cake rest for over half a day for a moister, more delicious flavor. Recipe by Yukiline -

I wanted to try making a sweet snack that was fulfilling and used no oil.Right before and after baking, drop the cake on the counter top, still in the mold, to release any air and prevent it from shrinking.It's more rich if you use a crushed bar of chocolate. Once it's cooled, I recommend you top it with honey, jam or ice cream. Recipe by mini -
