    Notes :

    • Don't bake the cake for more time than mentioned, as it will turn hard if overbaked.
    • For small kids, Powder walnuts to avoid choking hazards.
    • Don't add water while grinding bananas. The banana puree has to be thick.
    • Fine semolina variety works best for this cake.
    • The semolina banana cake stays well for two days at room temperature and keeps good for 4-6  days if stored in the refrigerator.
    • You could also use powdered nuts or any nuts of your choice.
    • Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cakes.

      Hi, I tried this cake with the exact measurements you gave. I kept the cake in the oven for 30 minutes and yet it was undercooked in the middle and very very greasy. is that how it should be or have I done something wrong in the method or the proportions?

        Hi, The sooji banana cake has some moisture unlike other cakes. But it should be fully cooked. Check out these pointers.
        1. Did you give some idle time for the cake mixture to set before baking?
        2. also, the final mix should be in pouring consistency. Adjust with milk if needed.
        3. if The temperature is too high, the middle part will not get cooked.

        Skip baking powder and sugar. Add sweet tasting banana. that should be enough if you don't have a sweet tooth

      The cake came out really nice. Thanks for posting the recipe. 180 degrees was actually not cutting it for the measurements that are mentioned in the recipe. I bumped up the temp to 250 and it worked like charm!

      Hi Kalyani,

      Is it safe to use baking powder in cakes for my 8 month old? I have no idea whether baking powder is harmful or not. Is there any substitute that I can use instead of baking powder, which is safe for babies
