Banana cake - Our very first cake :)

I can't believe we really made this cake. This is our very first banana cake, and it came out absolutely perfect.
I was always afraid of baking so I never tried it . It was always my elder sis who used to do baking but my lil sister wanted to bake something in her Christmas holidays so we decided to try our hand at a very simple recipe from her baking notes and we chose this banana cake. The recipe was really simple and the outcome was great!!
So here's our first cake :)


Ingredients :

  1. All-purpose flour/maida - 1 cup
  2. Ripe Banana - 1
  3. Butter - 1/2 cup
  4. Baking powder - 1 tsp
  5. Eggs - 2
  6. Sugar - 3/4 cup
  7. Milk - 1 tbsp
  8. Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp
  9. Salt - a pinch

Method :

  1. Blend the banana well with 1 tbsp of milk and keep aside.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until soft and the sugar has blended well. 
  3. Add the eggs and beat until well combined.
  4. Add the blended banana and mix well. 
  5. Now add the vanilla extract , pinch of salt, baking powder and mix .
  6. Then add the flour in small batches and carefully fold into the banana mixture, once incorporated repeat with the remaining flour.
  7. Transfer to a greased tin and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350F/180C for 40-45 mins until a tooth pick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  8. Let it cool down to room temperature.
  9. Cut into slices and enjoy.

                              Enjoy and Good luck :)
