My son is too fond of bananas. This is one of the very few things he like to eat, but sometimes he start doing nakhrey in eating these too. And as a result I end up with some over ripe bananas in hand. Generally I use these bananas in baking banana breads. This time tried to add some more flavours to make it more interesting and flavour full. As everyone in my family is fan of coffee flavor snacks. So made banana choco coffee cake , it turned out so soft, moist and yummy that no one can resist eating another serving. Best part of it is , that it's eggless too. You can make it any time you have over ripe bananas in hand , and don't want to throw it. It's vegan too, if you don't add milk yogurt and replace with soya yogurt. Easiest recipe with handful of ingredients and result is awesome delicious beautiful stripped cake.

Stepwise recipe is given below. Do try and don't forget to share your experience with me.

EGGLESS BANANA CHOCO COFFEE CAKE

Serves: 4-5 

Time: 50 mins

Ingredients 

2 cup all purpose flour/ chapatti flour 

2 big bananas, over ripe

1/4 cup thick yogurt 

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 tbsp instant coffee powder dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water

1/4 cup unsweetened  cocoa powder

Method:

First preheat the oven at 180°c.

Mix flour, baking powder  and salt together, keep aside for later use.

Add baking soda to yogurt water mix and give a quick stir. Keep it aside for 5-10 minutes.

Now mix mashed banana, vanilla essence, sugar and oil together till sugar dissolves and mixture become smooth and fluffy.

Now add yogurt mix to it and fold gently.

Mix dry and wet mixtures together and fold to get lumpless  batter for cakes. It will be little thicker but add water after dividing it . As coffee mix is already going to dilute it.

 

Now divide the batter in three equal parts and add cocoa powder to one, coffee mix in another and  third one plain.

* Add some water in Cocoa and plain  batter to get same consistency of all the batters. 

* Consistency of batter should be like idli batter.

In a greased and dusted baking loaf pan , pour one big spoon of one batter length wise and tap the pan to spread .then pour  one big spoon of other batter over it and again tap the pan and do it alternatively till batter finished. 

Then bake it for 35- 40 mins. But keep an eye after 30 mins on it as baking time may vary oven to oven.
I baked on convection mode for 42 mins.

Check it with knife or skewer by inserting in middle of cake ,for doneness. If knife/skewer comes out clean then cake Is done otherwise bake for some more minutes.

Let it sit for 5-10 mins then invert on wire rack and let it cool completely.

* You can add more sugar if like. As I kept mild but try it first, it's perfect for tea time snacks with perfect sweetness.

Its so soft and moist cake that you cannot have just one piece.

* You can easily double or half the ingredients as per your requirement and availability.

EGGLESS PATTERNED BANANA SWISS ROLL WITH NUTELLA FILLING

Hello everyone

Being a sweet tooth fellow I used to experiment with different dish dishes in different ways. I had a banana lying on my dining table for long and got over ripe, no one is now going to even touch it. So thought to make cake out out it but making cake with only one banana in hands seems lil funny. Again idea struck to give a try to Swiss roll with banana. So here is my version of patterned banana Swiss roll with Nutella filling. It's turned out so soft and moist that got vanished in seconds. 

Do try this eggless version of Swiss roll and don't forget to tell me your experience.

Stepwise recipe is given below.

EGGLESS PATTERNED BANANA SWISS ROLL WITH NUTELLA FILLING

Serves: 2-3

Time: 20 mins ( leaving refrigerating time)

Ingredients 

1/2 cup all purpose flour / chapatti flour 

1 big over ripe banana

2 tbsp yogurt mixed with 1/2 tbsp water

2 tbsp oil

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 pinch of salt

1 tbsp sugar ( you can use more)

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Few drops edible red colour

Method:

First of all add salt and baking powder in flour and mix well. Keep aside for later use. Now add baking soda to yogurt mix and give a quick stir. Keep aside.

Now mash banana with a fork. Add vanilla essence, sugar and oil. Mix well till sugar is dissolved.

Now take 1/2-1/2 tsp of yogurt mix and banana mix in a separate bowl. Add 1 tbsp of flour mix and red colour, stir  to make a lumpless smooth batter. If needed , add few drops of water to get nice smooth batter. 

Transfer this to a piping bag and make desired pattern on a rectangular/square baking tray lined with butter paper. Keep it in freezer for atleast 6 mins and maximum 10 mins.

** You can make pattern on only half the tray as only this will be visible. I had extra batter in hand so made on full tray.

** Don't decrease the freezing time otherwise pattern will not be so clean. I removed earlier that's why my pattern got smudged a little.

Now take the patterned tray out . Now add yogurt mix in banana mix followed by flour. Mix everything together to get smooth lumpless batter. If needed add some water to get nice cake like batter.

Now pour this batter on patterned baking tray. Spread it evenly and tap to release any bubble trapped.

Now bake for 8-10 mins at 180 degree C in a preheated oven. 

** Always keep checking for doneness by tapping on its top. If it feels spongy and non sticky then it's done. Over baked rolls get cracks while rolling.

Remove from oven and carefully invert on a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar to avoid sticking.

Now reinvent it carefully on dusted towel to get patterned side downwards.

Roll it carefully along will towel and make a log. Refrigerate for 1/2 - 1 hr.

Now open the roll carefully and spread Nutella all over it. Again roll to make log. 

Now cut in desired thickness roll and enjoy these beauties with family and friends.

** You can make any filling of your choice like cream, jam, hung curd etc.

These are not only yummy but also an eye treat for everyone. 

Do try this easy yet super tempting eggless delight and don't forget to share how's it turned out for you.

Hello everyone

Over ripe banana is a nightmare for banana lovers , like my son. He is too fond of bananas but don't want even a single spot on it. Last week I bought half a dozen of nice big bananas for him but after consuming two of them he forgot to have others and we too were busy in holiday outings that didn't care about it. Two days back I saw they became too ripe to eat , even I too don't like this type of banana. So to use it , tried my old tried and tasted recipe of zebra cake , it turned out so soft, moist and yummy that no one can resist eating another serving. Best part of it is , that it's eggless too. You can make it any time you have over ripe bananas in hand , and don't want to throw it. It's vegan too, if you don't add milk and replace with water. Easiest recipe with handful of ingredients and result is awesome delicious beautiful stripped cake.

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together, keep aside for later use.

Now mix mashed banana, vanilla essence, sugar and oil together till sugar dissolves and mixture become smooth and fluffy.

Mix dry and wet mixtures together and fold to get lumpless slightly thicker batter than other cakes. If needed add some milk/water , little at a time to get proper consistency.

Now divide the batter in two parts and add cocoa powder to one. 

*Add some milk/water in Cocoa batter to get same consistency of both the batters. 

In a greased baking pan , lined with butter paper , pour one big spoon of one batter and tap the pan to spread .then pour  one big spoon of other batter over it and again tap the pan and do it alternatively till batter finished. 

**Now using a knife or skewer make 6-8 lines on cake starting from center of cake towards edge, at equal distance and cleaning knife/skewer every time. Now again makes lines, in between these lines but in reverse direction, from edge of cake towards center. This will give a nice pattern on the cake. This step is completely optional, you can skip it without getting any change in final product.

Then bake it for 35- 40 mins. But keep an eye after 30 mins on it as baking time may vary oven to oven.
I baked on convection mode for 36 mins.

Check it with knife or skewer by inserting in middle of cake ,for doneness. If knife/skewer comes out clean then cake Is done otherwise bake for some more minutes.
