Whole Wheat Eggless Banana Walnut Cake – #bakingwithoutovenseries

Banana cake / bread is one of our favourite tea time cakes. Banana itself is usually used as an egg replacer, so it is really easy to make an eggless cake with banana as the star ingredient. Last time I made it, I  made it with maida and added choco chips, but now as I am trying most of my recipes with wheat flour, I also made the banana cake with wheat flour.  And to keep the cake really healthy, I didn’t use choco chips but added chopped walnuts and it turned out so yum. Yes I tried a slice of the cake and loved it so much. It was not overly sweet and goes perfect with a cup of coffee. But if you like sweet cakes, you can add extra sugar as per your liking.

I also made a video for the cake in Tamil. Even if you don’t know Tamil, you can definitely understand with all the captions. Do take a look. I also baked this in my pan for my #bakingwithoutovenseries. I know so many of my readers who don’t own an oven but interested in baking. This series is for those who want to bake without oven. There is not much difference between a stove baked and OTG baked cake except for the browning on top as in stove we don’t have a heat source on top. But texture wise they are the same. I will also add some bread recipes in this series in future.
