| Ingredients:
- Maida – 1 Cup
- Powdered Sugar – 1/2Cup
- Unsalted Butter – 65gms
- Cream – Half of 1/3Cup
- Vanilla Essence – 1/2tsp

- Baking Soda – 1/8tsp
- Baking Powder – 2tsps
- Mashed Fully Ripe Banana –

Preparations:
I
have used a convection-grill-microwave oven in which I have used
convection
mode only for this recipe. Preheat oven at 190 degrees centigrade. Take 9
cups
and grease them with ghee. Stick paper cups in the greased cups. Sift
maida,
baking powder and baking soda twice and keep it aside. Sifting makes
the
maida , baking powder and baking soda to mix evenly.
Method:
Arrange
a hand blender to the stand and fix the bowl. If you don't have this
bowl model
blender, hold the mixer in hand over a bowl and follow the following.
Take
butter into the bowl. Add essence and powdered sugar to the butter and
run the
mixer. When the mixture is creamy, add egg and beat until combined. Add
half of
the banana mash, half of the cream and half of the sifted dry
ingredients while
the mixer is running. After a while add the remaining banana mash, cream
and
dry ingredients keeping the mixer running till all the ingredients mix
well. Distribute the mixture equally into prepared cups. Bake at 190
degrees centigrade for 25 minutes.
To
test whether the cakes are done or not, insert a clean tooth pick into
the
cake. If it comes out clean without the mixture sticking on to it, it
means the
cake is done—if not bake for some more time.
Points To
Remember:
Oven
temperatures may differ for each brand. Follow your oven guide and
decide on
the temperatures or by trial and error method also one will learn.
One
can even use OTG with the same temperature measurements and make these
cakes.
But one has to keep a watch and decide when to switch off or switch
on the grills
Use
of ripe or over-ripe bananas for this recipe makes the cake sweeter,
softer and
better!
I
prefer to use individual cups as they get baked evenly and they look
good on
your serving plate as each piece will be a whole cake. But one can put
the entire mixture in a baking bowl and make a single
piece cake. Always remember to test for the baking, in the middle of
the
cake.
Cakes
made at home are always fresh and one can enjoy.
People
above forty should eat less of these cakes and feed their quota to
children.
Make
these delicious and soft cakes and serve to take the praises of your
beloved
ones.
Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
