Who needs an occasion to have a cake?

But before that, with a view to cater to a larger audience this cake is also prepared without eggs.

Bananas: You will need at least 4 ripe bananas. This recipe works even better if the bananas are overripe. 

Flour: To keep it healthy the suggestion is to use wheat flour. 

Oil: Again the suggestion is to use virgin olive oil. But in case you do not have it handy you can use vegetable oil. A few people even use butter instead of oil. 

Vanilla Extract: To add flavour to this banana cake recipe prepared without the oven we have used vanilla extract. You can additionally add other ground species. To add aroma to the cake you can make use of cinnamon or pumpkin spice but that is optional. 

Nuts: A few pieces of finely cut walnuts.

Sugar: As per the sweetness needed.

Other Ingredients: Chocolate chips or coconut flakes to be added as toppings. You can skip this if you want to keep your cake healthy.

Preparation of Batter for the Banana Cake Recipe Without the Oven

1. Mash the 4 ripe or overripe bananas with the use of a fork. Ensure that no chunks of bananas are left behind. The mixture should be smooth to get that perfect texture. If needed you can even blend these bananas. 

2. Now add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, ½ a cup of sugar and ⅔ cups of virgin olive oil to the mixture of the mashed bananas. 

3. Keep stirring till the sugar melts in the mixture completely.

4. Place a vessel beneath the sieve and then add 1 ½ cup of wheat flour, ½ tablespoon of baking powder and 1 tablespoon of baking soda in it. You can also add a pinch of salt to the mixture and sift it nicely. Now add the flour mixture from the vessel to the banana mixture and stir well.

5.  At this stage if the mixture looks very thick then you can add almond milk or normal milk to give the batter the required consistency. Remember to add milk only if the wheat flour is forming lumps and not dissolving completely in the mixture.

6. Add walnut pieces at this stage. If you can, you can additionally add pistachios or almonds along with walnuts. 

7. Transfer the batter in an aluminium cake mould.
