Indian Cuisine: Eggless Banana Cake Recipe - Vegan Banana Cake Recipe - Step by Step Pictures

The first attempt on writing about my cooking...Eggless Banana Choco-Chip Cake

I would describe my relationship with cooking as of a child fascinated by observing the world. I am not much of a doer in this area rather an observer, as I said. One of the things I am fascinated and fond of cooking is cakes

I have tried making cakes from past many years, with many success and failures. But my fabulous journey with cakes has started (after few years of gap) because of a dear friend who came home and insisted I cook a cake (despite my fears of failure) and secondly because of Divya's blog Easycooking. I have read many of her recipes and tried few of her cake recipes many times with great success and accolades.

I have made Eggless Banana Choco-Chip Cake a few times now following Divya's Eggless Banana Choco-Chip Squares. My whole family, except my darling daughter, TW, is not a fruit eater and since I regularly buy bananas for my daughter I am left with over-ripe bananas very often. After making banana shakes quite a lot, I decided we need some new way to use the over-ripe bananas. I browsed through many recipes and liked Divya's recipe and tried it. Its been a favourite in my family and friends.
