Eggless chocolate banana cake | With wheat flour

eggless-chocolate-banana-cake
I always buy banana as its the only fruit other than apple my kid eat. He likes it only when it is just ripe and if its over ripen, no one touches it at home. Sometimes I make milkshake with other fruits to finish it. At times make my easy banana nutella icecream if I have nutella. But this is the best way to use the over ripen banana. When you find it over ripen, put inside a ziploc (with the peel) and freeze it. When you need, you can use it upto a month. You can thaw it in microwave and bake this eggless chocolate banana cake. This is very easy to make, no fancy ingredients, no complicated process. Just mash the bananas, mix all the ingredients, bake it. Simple right? I had bookmarked and kept this for a long time and as usual forgot. Then last week I remembered and decided to bake as I had over ripen bananas. The original recipe is here. I replaced all purpose flour (Maida) with wheat flour (atta) and vinegar with lemon juice. I was eagerly waiting for the outcome and it turned out pretty good bake. Healthy too as a snack. Bookmark and keep, sure this will be a keeper.

Eggless chocolate banana cake recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Continental  |  Recipe Category: Dessert
Prep Time: 15 mins     |  Cook time: 35 mins     |  Makes: 16 squares

Ingredients

Wheat flour – 1 & 1/4 cup

Banana (Long variety)  – 2

Cocoa powder – 1/4 cup

Sugar – 3/4 cup

Oil (I used sunflower) – 1/3 cup

Water – 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp

Baking soda – 1 tsp

Lemon juice – 1 tsp

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Choco chips – 1/3 cup

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, mash well the peeled ripen banana with a fork. Add rest of the ingredients to it.

    2. 1-ingredients

  2. Preheat oven at 180 deg C (350 F). Mic and pour the mix into an 8 inch square greased pan.

    3. 2-mix

  3. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and  bake for 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

    4. 3-bake

  4. Cool completely before taking out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

    5. 4-cut

Notes

    • The original recipe called for all purpose flour / plain flour/ maida. I replaced with wheat flour (atta). If you use maida, cut off the 1 tbsp water in the recipe.
    • Lemon juice can be replaced with vinegar.
    • The original recipe asked to not grease the pan. I have no idea for what reason. If anyone knows do share.
    • I dipped knife in hot water for clean cut.

You can serve by warming in microwave for 20 secs, if you like it warm or have it as such. Best for kids snack box and after school snack.

  44. I have tried quite a lot of your recipes and I must say I am a big fan of your recipes. But I am sorry to say this one disappointed me. The taste of atta was dominating and I could not get the fluffiness of normal cakes made with eggs.

  50. Hi Raks,
    I tried this recipe. It came out very well. I still cant believe it is a 'no maida' cake 🙂
    I used small bananas(4 nos) as I had it in hand , it was more than overripe and i did not want to waste it. I had to use more water and oil to the batter to get normal cake batter consistency. i guess it is because the bananas i used are more thicker than the long variety ones us used.
    I am so happy about the results and my family loved it too
    My kids were so happy to take a piece to school for snack time 🙂

  58. I am not sure if nendran pazham will be as moist and soft as the regular banana. If its so, then you can try. Adjust water if you find the batter too tight.

  60. Hi raks thanks for the amazing recipe. Jus one doubt. Should I use normal ripen bananas or over ripened bananas. Will the ripeness in any way affect the cake softness??? Pls clarify. Thanks again. Keep your good work going

  166. Hi Raks, tried this cake sterday ; came out very well. This is my first cake trial in microwave and am very happy about the outcome. My son n hubby finished more than half of the cake in just 1 sitting 🙂
    Your measurements are always perfect! Using wheat flour is definitely brilliant.
    Just wanted to check if we could use multigrain atta instead of regular wheat flour.

    Thanks,
    Sylvia
