Eggless banana cake(whole wheat_ oats)

Here is an eggless banana cake(whole wheat_ oats) which I tried yesterday. healthier than the usual cake coz I din't add maida,

Preheat the oven to 180 C

whole wheat flour- 1 cup
oats- 1/2 cup
sugar 3/4th -to 1 cup or even lesser(I used brown sug+white sug- 50:50)
Cardamom pwd-1/2 tsp
baking soda- a lil less than 3/4th tsp
Put all the above in a bowl & mix well

In another bowl take=
oil or ghee or both mixed- around 5 tbsp
milk 1/4 cup(warm)
mix both well.
Add in 5 tbsp curd(slightly sour but not too sour)
Add in 3 medium sized bananas mashed well.
mix everything well.

Now add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients lil by litle & fold. don't mix vigorously & don't overmix. Add water if the batter is too thick.

Pour the batter into a greased,dusted cake pan. sprinkle some broken cashewnuts on top. U can add nuts to the batter if u like. Bake for 30-35 mins or until a skewer poked in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let it rest outside the oven for 5 mins.loosen the sides & then turn the pan over a wire rack & tap. let it cool completely & then slice. Better had the next day.

Note: U can add vannila essence or banana essence instead of cardamom pwd.

This cake will be very soft but dense.

K, this cake din't stick to the teeth. maybe coz of the oats in it.
