SUPER MOIST BANANA CAKE WITH WALNUTS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Prep work: Preheat the oven / 350 deg Grease and flour the pans of your choice. the original recipe called for two 8 inch pans. I used one 8 inch round and one 9 inch square pan. Let's get the party started Sift the flour,baking soda and salt together and set aside. Cream the butter,sugar and eggs. Add in the pureed bananas,,cardamom powder ,cinnamon powder and saffron strands. Add in the flour and whip up the gooey mixture. Fold in the walnuts and almonds Let's cook them: Stick those pans in the preheated oven and bake them at 350 deg for 30 min. The results: Holy mackerel ! Honest to goodness yummy light and fluffy and airy goodness in squares and circles. Beautiful brown goodness, perfectly baked and crunchy walnuts. The aroma filled the entire kitchen and brought the oldest scooting down to the kitchen.. all the way form the attic. Texture : Very very soft ( possibly the baking powder in the self rising flour combined with the baking soda, did wonders) and porus. Aroma : Fragrant cardamom and hint of cinnamon with saffron emanating creating the wonderful fusion with bananas. Serve it up..the kids devoured it it warm with the cool combination of whipped cream. Yummy! Verdict: Just awesome !.. And like I always believe, great cooking results is mostly achieved by right combination of ingredients and the freshness of your stock. And of course, the right chemistry !!! http://veggierumblings.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/oh-so-awesome-light-and-fluffy-nutty-banana-cake/
