My first attempt in baking started with cookies followed by eggless Pineapple cake. After tasting the delicious pineapple cake, My daughter was thrilled as asked me to bake banana and chocolate Eggless cakes. I found Eggless Banana Walnut Cake very simple to concoct, yet, they are so delicious and very spongy and also the bite of walnuts inside the cake makes us enjoy the cake. A very quick and yummy cake to surprise our little ones in their holidays!

Eggless Banana Walnut Cake
Method:
Pre-heat the Oven at 350 degree F or 180 degrees C
Take the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking salt, cardamom powder in a sieve and sieve it so that all the dry ingredients are nicely mixed. Peel the ripe bananas and mash it nicely using your clean hand
Now lets mix all the wet ingredients. Take a mixing bowl, add condensed milk followed by butter. Butter , curd should be at room temperature. Different temperature of each ingredients will not result in good baking. So make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.
Then add curd and whisk everything nicely. Then add dry flour that we have passed through the sieve. Fold them all gently and make sure they are mixed well.
Add the mashed ripe bananas and fold them gently followed by finely chopped walnuts. Now our cake batter is ready
Grease a cake tin and dust it with little flour. Pour the cake batter and gently tap so that the batter is evenly spread and there are no air holes
Bake it the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the tooth pick comes out clean. Take out the baked cake dust it with icing sugar(this is optional) and place it in cooling rack and allow it to cool off for another 30 minutes. After the cake is cooled off, make rectangular or triangular cake pieces.
Our yummy and spongy Eggless Banana Walnut Cake is now ready to serve!
Yes the batter preparation remains the same. Instead of oven, preheat the cooker with sand / salt for about 5 minutes in medium flame. Then keep a bowl in the bottom and keep the baking tray on top and then bake it for about 20 minutes in low flame without putting weight on the cooker. check if the tooth pick comes out clean after 20 minutes.
Please tell me what "curd" is. Thank you.
Curd is nothing but Yogurt
Thank you so much. I hope to make this sometime in the future.
Can this cake be baked using pressure cooker? Any change in recipe if pressure cooker is used ?
I tried out pista cardamom cake. It came out great. Can this banana cake also be baked using pressure cooker
