Banana that works Best for this Eggless Banana Cake Recipe

Always use overripe bananas. They may not impress you by their look. As the peel turns to black and fruit became soggy .

But they actually boast higher vitamin C and antioxidant levels. It is easier to digest.

Overripe Bananas gives the best result in baking. Even you can use them to make moist & soft pancakes.
Next time don’t throw Bananas when they are no more appealing . Make a Banana Cake instead !
I have used 300 gm Banana , the weight is after peeling the skin. I took around 6 small Bananas. It’s better to keep a kitchen weighing  Scale for your culinary purpose.

Cool and Chill 😎

Let it Cool Completely after you bake the cake. It is very important to leave the cake in tin for 15-20 minutes after baking.

I know it’s the toughest thing to ask .
Next take out the cake from the tin carefully and let it cook at room temperature.This Cake is soft & super moist.I am sure you will love it.

You can pair a slice with Ginger tea or Filter Kappi .Even I like with a cup of Oolong Tea.
