Whole Wheat Chocolate Banana Loaf Cake

Image
A moist whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake. This eggfree banana cake flavoured with a dash of cinnamon is perfect as a tea time snack. It is another special day. My youngest son’s first birthday. I wanted Adbhut’s first ever cake to be something he would enjoy. Here’s something with his favourite fruit. I am super happy about how this whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake turned out. It is simple, healthy and flavourful at the same time. My home smells all warm and ‘cinnamony’. It is often thought that whole wheat bakes are dense or taste ‘aata -like’. Try this. Its soft, moist and unless you tell its wholewheat no one would guess it. Recipe Cook Time            45 minutes Servings                1 loaf INGREDIENTS 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 and 1/2 tsps baking powder 2 tbsps Cocoa powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder {optional} 1/4 tsp salt 2 Ripe bananas { medium size} 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2

Mom’s Eggless Cake-Whole Wheat Version

Image
When I started baking, a little less than a year back, this is the recipe I played around with. Being a part of a healthy baking group made me try a whole wheat version of my mom’s classic cake. It wasn’t difficult at all because her recipe is versatile.
