Instructions
- Add 2 tbsp of soft butter to a bowl. To this add a quarter cup of sugar. Whisk them together to get a creamy texture.
- Add two medium-sized ripe bananas to the butter-sugar mix. Add a quarter cup of freshly grated coconut. Combine them together.
- Add one and a half cups of wheat flour, 3/4th tsp of baking powder. 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Fold them gently.
- Add one cup of milk in intervals and mix them together. Grease a cake pan and line them with parchment paper. Transfer cake batter to it. Level off the top.
- Sprinkle two teaspoons of fresh coconut and chopped walnuts. Bake at 375 F for 25-30 mins. Transfer to cooling rack. Slice and serve with tea or coffee.
Notes
- I have used whole wheat flour to make this cake. You can mix a combination of APF/ wheat flour to do the same.
- Ripe bananas are much sweeter and the sugar level used in this recipe is just right for us. If you are using not so ripe bananas, increase the quantity of sugar.
