Come summer and fruit-lovers drool at the very thought of welcoming all the exotic tropical fruits, save for one :( - me !! Although my gustatory cells are geared up with all the gusto of a fruit-erian, the olfactory and ophthalmic nerves seem to be on a high alert.. surveying around for any edible items going bad. For, it is also the time when fruits and veggies loose their freshness very quickly.
It is during these days that making a banana cake comes to the rescue. Over-ripe bananas, preferably the ones whose peels having started blackening, make the best cake.
And not to mention, a good excuse ;) for the forgetful lot (me me) who miss devouring the bananas while still fresh :D !!
Absence of refined flour (maida), oil and sugar makes it a hit among the health conscious while being egg-free for the vegetarians .
A healthy ,vegetarian and filling snack !!
