Banana Cream Cake

Banana Cream Cake

Ingredients:
  • Maida – 1 Cup
  • Powdered Sugar – 1/2Cup
  • Unsalted Butter – 65gms
  • Cream – Half of 1/3Cup
  • Vanilla Essence – 1/2tsp
  • Egg – 1
  • Baking Soda – 1/8tsp
  • Baking Powder – 2tsps
  • Mashed Fully Ripe Banana – 1/2Cup

    Preparations:
    I have used a convection-grill-microwave oven in which I have used convection mode only for this recipe. Preheat oven at 190 degrees centigrade. Take 9 cups and grease them with ghee. Stick paper cups in the greased cups. Sift maida, baking powder and baking soda twice and keep it aside.  Sifting makes the maida , baking powder and baking  soda to mix evenly.

    Method:
    Arrange a hand blender to the stand and fix the bowl. If you don't have this bowl model blender, hold the mixer in hand over a bowl and follow the following.
    Take butter into the bowl. Add essence and powdered sugar to the butter and run the mixer. When the mixture is creamy, add egg and beat until combined. Add half of the banana mash, half of the cream and half of the sifted dry ingredients while the mixer is running. After a while add the remaining banana mash, cream and dry ingredients keeping the mixer running till all the ingredients mix well.  Distribute the mixture equally into prepared cups. Bake at 190 degrees centigrade for 25 minutes. 
    To test whether the cakes are done or not, insert a clean tooth pick into the cake. If it comes out clean without the mixture sticking on to it, it means the cake is done—if not bake for some more time.

    Points To Remember:
    Oven temperatures may differ for each brand. Follow your oven guide and decide on the temperatures or by trial and error method also one will learn. 
    One can even use OTG with the same temperature measurements and make these cakes. But one has to keep a watch  and decide when to switch off or switch on the grills
    Use of ripe or over-ripe bananas for this recipe makes the cake sweeter, softer and better!
    I prefer to use individual cups as they get baked evenly and they look good on your serving plate as each piece will be a whole cake. But one can  put the entire mixture in  a baking  bowl  and  make a single piece  cake. Always remember to test for the baking, in the middle of the cake.
    Cakes made at home are always fresh and one can enjoy.
    People above forty should eat less of these cakes and feed their quota to children. 
    Make these delicious and soft cakes and serve to take the praises of your beloved ones.
    Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
