How to make an eggless banana cake at home

One of the most common baking mistake people do is not keeping the oven for preheating. Avoid this mistake. Let us keep oven for preheating at 180 °C to get ultimate moist eggless banana cake recipe.

For eggless banana cake mix, in a large mixing bowl take two large overripe bananas. Using a fork or potato masher, mash them. You can also use a food processor or a blender to mash the bananas.

Add suggested amount of oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar in the mashed bananas. Using a whisker/spatula mix it until sugar completely dissolves.

For this recipe, I have used Madagascar Vanilla Flavour which is oil based from Fab Flavours. Less than half teaspoon of this flavor took the recipe to another level. My kitchen was actually flooded with its aroma.

Banana Cake Mix

In a separate bowl, sieve wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add flour mixture and cocoa powder to wet ingredients. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Initially, the banana cake batter will be thick. Add milk to the batter and make it of pouring consistency. The batter should be smooth and lump free. In case you find any lumps, use an electric whisker to whisk the batter for 1-2 min.

Pour the batter into greased loaf pan (8x3x2 inches) and tap it on the counter twice or thrice. Tapping will help to release the air bubbles from the batter.

TIP: For greasing the tin, I always prefer to use unsalted butter as it works like a layer that protects my bakes from sticking to the tin. Hence demolding is always easy for me.

After tapping, garnish the banana cake eggless with your choice of nuts and dry fruits. To add the crunch to this soft and moist Banana cake, I added chopped almonds and melon seeds.

Now, bake it in a preheated oven at 160°C for 30 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.

Every oven behaves differently. Depending on your oven and its temperature, the baking time can vary. Keep an eye on your cake while baking.

I have Morphy Richards 52L and I always bake using middle rack. In my oven, it took 30 minutes. For you, it can be different.

When it’s completely baked, take the cake out from the oven and demold it. Let it cool for 10 minutes though I know it’s hard to resist :-).

In fact, I love to taste cakes when they are still warm. Our moist banana cake recipe is ready to slice and serve.
