Ingredients
- 9 Ripe Bananas; mashed
- 3¾ Cups Sugar
- 1½ Cups Sunflower Oil
- 6 Medium-Sized Eggs
- 1½ Cups Sour Cream
- 6 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 3 tsp Baking Soda
- 3 tsp Salt
- ¾ Cup Toasted and Coarsely ground Walnuts
- ¾ Cup Toasted Flax Seeds
- Few Drops Vanilla Essence
- Few Drops Banana Essence
Instructions
- Transfer the eggs to a big bowl and whisk them using a hand blender.
- Add sugar and blend till the sugar melts.
- Then add oil, bananas, and sour cream and blend further.
- Sieve the flour along with baking soda and salt and fold it into the creamed mixture. Then add the walnuts and flax seeds.
- Take a baking tray and grease it properly with oil or butter. Dust it with all-purpose flour. Remove the extra flour. Then pour the batter. Level it at the top and tap it to remove air gaps.
- Preheat the oven to 180 deg C and bake the cake for about 50 minutes or till a toothpick, when inserted and pulled out, comes out clean. You can fill up the batter to about 3/4th of the height of the baking tray. Leave the rest for rising.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before you invert and take it out. Then cut it into slices. A beautiful, well-risen, light and fluffy, and delicious cake is ready to be eaten :)
