Eggless Sorghum Cake Recipe | Jowar Banana Cake

This is an Eggless cake with goodness of Cold processed  Coconut oil.You can use Olive oil or any vegetable oil. I love the flavour of Virgin Coconut oil.

Use overripe Bananas for this Jowar Cake.
Overripe Bananas may not impress with the look. The skin darkens with black spots. These are best for baking.

Banana adds natural sweetness to your cake. So I have used a little palm sugar . You can try coconut sugar or brown sugar.
Banana add the softness and a gooey texture to Jowar Banan Cake.
Wheat flour can be replaced with all purpose flour. I always try to avoid Maida while baking a cake for parents.
I have used Jowar & whole wheat flour in 50:50 ratio .This totally works.

Baking Tips for Jowar Banana Cake

Pre-heating the oven is important. If you are baking in an OTG , you can reduce the baking temperature to 170 degree C.

Preparing the Cake tin is important. Grease the bottom with a little butter and sprinkle a tablespoon flour. Else You can line the bottom with a parchment paper .

Baking time varies from 45 minutes to an hour. It depends on the oven. So do a toothpick test after 45 minutes to check if it’s done. Insert at the centre and the toothpick should come clean.
If not , you need to bake more.

Eggless Sorghum Cake Recipe

Adding Melon seeds is optional. Add one teaspoon of flour to Melon seeds in a bowl. Mix once. Now add this to your cake batter.
Adding seeds in this way will help to spread evenly in the cake. Else it will deposit at the bottom.
