So What do you do when you have very ripe bananas and no one is willing to finish them off??? I wondered and wondered. Didn't want to indulge in cake and stuff but then came across a recipe which used less oil and less sugar. hmmmmm.....Interesting :-)
So I set myself up for not more then 8 mins for this job and voila the result is below. Of Course it doesn't include the baking time.
What you need is a cup of All Purpose flour i e maida, 1 tbsp olive oil,3 very ripe bananas,demerara sugar about 1/4 cup or as sweet as you like, 1 heaped tsp of baking powder and 2 small pinches of baking soda
Sieve APF,Baking powder and soda twice. Setup your blender, put sugar,oil, peeled bananas all in the blender. Blend for 3-4 mins or till the mixture is very fluffy.To this fluffy mixture add the dry ingredients in batches. I did 2 batch and keep whipping.
Mixture has to be smooth and pouring consistency. Add milk if need be and blend.
In the meantime preheat the oven for 10 mins at 200 degrees.
Prepare the cake tin.
Add the mixture to prepared tin and bake for about 20 mins at 190 degrees. Result will be as below:
Not glamorous enough? dust it with icing sugar.
Better now? gorge on gorgeous guitfree :-)
hmmm yum yum... gonna try this one... one question- i did not get the exact quantity of olive oil to be used, n is it ok if we use extra virgin olive oil for cooking... i usually use fresh cream instead, but olive oil sounds better :)
ReplyDeleteI use extra virgin only for salads. This one you can use normal olive oil. 1 tablespoon is the quantity i used. and I feel even if i reduce this to 1 tsp,it wouldn't change the taste.Banana makes it super moist.
