I made this on my dad's birthday and the kids were super excited about having him cut the cake in the evening.
The recipe is from Divya's blog
Some pictures from the celebrations my daughters had set up for my father. Love of the children is just immeasurable. Happy Birthday Appa!
Recipe (serves 6)
Verdict: Quick and easy recipe for a delicious evening snack. I would have preferred it a little less sweet. I will be trying it out with 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 3/4 cup next time.
Ingredients:
Flour (maida) - 3/4 cup
Baking powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Banana - 1 large very ripe
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Egg - 1 (at room temperature)
Butter - 1/4 cup
Buttermilk - 50ml (see note)
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Note: Buttermilk can be made by taking 50 ml of milk, removing 1tsp from it and replacing it with 1tsp of vinegar. Let it sit for 10 mins.
Optionally, you can use 25ml of curd beaten and added to 25 ml of milk and let it sit for about half an hour.
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
Grease a bundt pan (6 cup). It is a good idea to grease well with butter and then sprinkle some flour on the butter. That way the cake releases easily from the bundt pan.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
Make sure the banana is really ripe and mash it using a blender.
Add the sugar and egg to the mashed banana and beat well. Then add the butter and beat for another minute until the mixture is thick and creamy.
Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract and beat until just blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and fold in until just blended. Make sure not to over mix as it will result in a tough cake.
Scoop into the bundt pan and smooth out the top evenly.
Bake for about 40mins or until the top turns golden brown and the cake passes the skewer test.
Remove and let it cool completely before you try to turn the pan and release the cake.
