I have tried many ready-to-make cakes but one day i was hit by the make-it-from scratch syndrome. I decided to start off easy... i made banana bread and it turned out so delicious that it has now become a regular snack at home.
Banana bread/cake
Ingredients:
Ripe banana 1
Egg 1
All purpose flour 1 cup
Baking soda 1 tea spn
Sugar 3/4th cup
Butter 1/2 cup
Cashew nuts 1 tbl spn (optional)
Salt 1/4th tea spn
Sieve together flour and baking soda. Keep it aside.
Beat sugar in butter till it becomes a smooth paste. Then add egg and beat again.
Now add mashed banana and mix well. Add this mixture to flour and mix slowly.
Add some cashew nuts if desired. Bake in a greased bake form for 40 min at 350F.
You can even try the simple egg cake for a change ....

Preheat the oven at 350F for 10min.
Sieve together flour and baking soda. Keep it aside.

Add flour little by little and mix well. Then sprinkle some flour on it and spread the batter. Bake the cake for around 40 min at 350F.
TIP: Just make a slit on the top while it is baking to ensure the bread is baked evenly inside.
