Ingredients
  • • Flour, 2 cups
  • • Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon
  • • Salt, 1 teaspoon
  • • Softened Butter, ⅓ cup
  • • White Granulated Sugar, ½ cup
  • • Eggs, 2 (at room temp.) (or ½ cup milk)
  • • Overripe Bananas, 3, mashed into a paste
  • • Yogurt, 2 tablespoons
  • • Vanilla essence, 1 teaspoon
  • • Sweetened Whipping Cream, ½ cup
  • • Caramel Sauce, ½ cup
  • • Dark Chocolate, shaved
Method
  1. In a bowl, sift flour, salt and baking powder and keep aside to be used later.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes with a hand mixer. Add in the eggs and whisk gently for a minute or until they're properly mixed. Please make sure the eggs are at room temperature. Cold eggs won’t mix properly. Add in the mashed bananas, yogurt and vanilla essence. (If you're substituting eggs with milk with, add it in step 3 not here)
  3. Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients little by little until everything is properly mixed and a thick batter is formed. Do not over-mix the batter (Also add milk if you're making an eggless cake.)
  4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer to greased 8-inch round cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius or until a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Once the cake cools down, cover it generously with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce over it. Decorate with a few banana slices on top and a generous sprinkling of chocolate shavings.
  7. Serve the cake immediately. To store the cake, read these instructions.
