For the Cake Batter
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Jaggery powdered
- 1/2 cup Milk full-fat
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder elaichi
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Water optional, if needed
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Instructions
Prepare the Caramel
- Melt butter in a 6-7 inch round cake pan. Sprinkle Demerara sugar evenly over the melted butter.
Arrange Bananas
- Arrange sliced bananas over the sugared butter in the pan.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Sift three times for best results.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together powdered jaggery and milk until the jaggery is fully dissolved. Strain the mixture to remove any impurities. Add mashed banana, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Adjust Batter Consistency
- If the batter is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it's smooth but not runny.
Preheat Oven and Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Pour the batter into the prepared pan, gently tapping to settle. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Invert
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, invert the cake onto a serving plate.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Baking Success
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
- For a deeper caramel flavor, use brown sugar instead of Demerara sugar.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease your cake pan with butter or cooking spray before sprinkling the sugar.
