Eggless Banana Walnut Cake

 A very long due post, but finally it's here......this is a simple, easy and a medium size cake recipe which caters specially to a lot of my friends who don't eat eggs or are always looking for recipes which would use over ripe bananas.
This cake can be stored in fridge for upto a week. I'm using walnuts in it however you may completely omit this ingredient or use any dry fruit of choice or chocolate.

  • Now empty the thick banana paste to a large bowl and carefully fold/mix the dry ingredients until a thick smooth mixture is formed. (Please make sure there are no lumps as it may result in uneven cake texture).
