Healthy Banana Cake

Hello all, welcome to the Weekly Cook Book. I had fallen in love with cooking and baking when I came to the U.K. in 2016. I guess living alone has given me a great amount of flexibility and opportunity to experiment in the kitchen. However, as I do grocery shopping for only myself, I am usually obliged to finish that particular batch of ingredients, which is why the recipes that I will be sharing with you here will not require you to fetch a big basket of ingredients from the supermarket. 

Today, I will be sharing with you the tastiest and healthiest banana cake (or as I like to call it - BanaNut Cake) and it is incredibly simple to replicate.



All you need for this recipe is:

  1. 2 ripe bananas
  2. 200g of plain flour (I use gluten-free)
  3. 40ml of milk
  4. 2 eggs 
  5. 80g of sugar (I prefer demerara sugar but any type of sugar would do the trick)
  6. 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  7. 1 tsp of cinnamon powder 
  8. 2 tsp of olive oil 
  9. Mixed nuts (recommended)
Method:
  1. Mix all the ingredients (1-8) and batter it in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes smooth. 
  2. If you're intending to put mixed nuts, put the nuts in a bag and crush it using a rolling pin, then put the crushed nuts into the mixture.
  3. Brush some olive oil around the tin and pour the mixture into it.
  4. Leave it in the oven for 40 minutes at 220 degree celcius and increase it to 250 degree celcius for an additional 5 minutes to give that blazing-brown texture.
