Banana-Walnut Cake

My Hubby never eats cake,that's the reason I stopped baking cakes at home. To my surprise one day he said he used to go to Starbucks near his office and became a great fan of Chai-latte & Banana-Walnut cake. grrrrrrrrrrr! The very next day I baked this cake and thereafter it became our favourite evening snack. :)

Walnut(broken into small pieces)-1/2cup
All purpose flour-11/4cups
Sugar-1/2cup
Baking Powder-1/2teaspoon
Baking Soda-1/2teaspoon

In Room Temperature

Method
Sieve the flour with Baking powder-baking soda-cinnamon powder twice and keep aside.
Separate the egg whites and yolks.
Cream the butter and sugar. Add egg yolks-vanilla and beat well.
Then add the flour and milk alternatively, mix well.
Mash the bananas, fold it with the flour mixture.

  6. Mahi, bookmarked it rightaway. My husband is also not a big fan of sweets but loved the banana-nut cake.. Just a question.. what was size of the bananas you used/how many cups of banana puree...??
