This is my favourite recipe for a banana cake that I always bake. I don’t like to write recipes in a formal manner. My method of recipe writing is almost the sequence of how to bake it. This recipe prepares a half kilograms of banana cake for 5-6 people as an evening snack. Tastes best with tea.

Some tips to remember:

§  Use room temperature butter for best results. If the butter is not melted properly then allow it to melt before proceeding to the next step.

§  Walnuts are just an option.

§  Try covering the cake tin with aluminium foil to enable the cake remain soft.

§  Cake is ready if the knife is clean after poking the cake.

§  If the batter in the tin is excessive, then try to reduce the heat to 170*c and bake it for some extra time. If the heat is too much, you might end up burning the crust of the cake.
