Another guest post, Its from my fellow blogger friend Swathy of Shravs Kitchen. It’s my long time wish for me to try my hands with baking, but still keep postponing it for no reason:( But I have managed to have few cake recipes in my space through guest posts at least:) Swathi is good at experimenting healthy baking and this cake too should taste good. Thanks a lot Swathy for this recipe! Now over to Swathy.
The healthy wheat cake turned out to be super moist and soft without eggs. The banana added makes it very soft and tasty. This is perfect for kids evening snack. I am honored for writing this recipe as guest post to gkfooddairy. I love kalyani’s blog, the way she presents and her photographic skill. The blog presents all the needed information for new moms like me. She is one of my inspirations in starting a food blog.
- Wheat flour - 2 cups
- Banana - 1 large size
- Sugar - 1 cup
- Cocoa powder - ¼ cup
- Oil - 1 /3 cup
- Water - 1 cup
- Baking powder - 1 /2 tsp
- Choco chips - ½ cup
- Peel the banana and mash well using spoon in a mixing bowl. Preheat oven to 150° C.
- Add wheat flour, cocoa powder, oil, sugar, baking powder to the banana mash and mix well adding water little by little.
- When everything is mixed well and the mixture reaches desired consistency add choco chips and mix. Grease the baking pan with oil and pour the mixture into it. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cake is done. Insert tooth pick to check if it is baked well. Mine got done at 17 minutes so keep an eye on the cake after 15 minutes. Let it cool completely on wire rack, invert, cut into slices and serve.

- I have used nendra pazham you can use any sweet variety of banana.
- If the banana is very sweet then adjust sugar accordingly.
- Melted butter or ghee can be used instead of oil.
I dont ve conventional oven to bake any cake. Can ut b done in pressure cooker? If yes then how much time to bake?
Yes it can be done in pressure cooker. It may take 45 minutes in pressure cooker without whistle in low flame, keep checking after 30 minutes if the tooth pick inserted into the cake comes out clean, then it's done.
