Key Ingredients for a Moist & Fluffy Eggless Banana Cake:
- All-purpose flour โ Gives the cake a soft, fluffy crumb.
- Sugar โ Adds sweetness and helps keep the cake moist.
- Vegetable oil โ Any neutral flavoured oil to provide tenderness without overpowering the banana flavor.
- Milk โ Brings moisture and binds the ingredients together.
- Ripe bananas โ The natural sweetness and creamy texture make the cake rich and flavorful.
- Baking powder and baking soda โ Work together to make the cake rise and stay airy.
- Vanilla extract โ Enhances the flavor with a warm, sweet aroma.
- Walnuts โ Add crunch and a nutty depth (optional).
- Chocolate chips โ Melt into pockets of chocolatey goodness throughout the cake.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Moist Eggless Chocolate Chip Banana Cake
- Preheat the oven โ Set your oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC) and preheat for about 5 minutes. This ensures even baking and a perfectly golden crust.
- Make the banana purรฉe โ Peel and chop ripe bananas. Add bananas, sugar, oil, and milk into a blender. Blend until smooth, creamy, and lump-free for the best cake texture.
- Combine dry ingredients โ Pour the banana purรฉe into a large mixing bowl. Place a sieve over the bowl and add all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Sift to avoid lumps, then gently fold in with a whisk or spatula.
- Add flavor boosters โ Stir in vanilla essence, semi-sweet chocolate chips and freshly chopped walnuts. Mix just enough to combineโovermixing can make the cake dense instead of fluffy.
- Prepare the baking pan โ Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly, then tap the pan gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake to perfection โ Bake for 35โ40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of baked bananas and melting chocolate will fill your kitchen.
- Cool, slice & serve โ Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve warm with coffee, or enjoy at room temperature as a snack or dessert.
