BANANA PEAR CAKE

 BANANA PEAR CAKE 

I baked this simple one bowl batter cake to celebrate my win in one of the few writing contests I have participated during the Lockdown .  Inspite of being a No oil , no butter no sugar cake, it turned out soft , moist and delicious with the right amount of sweetness . 

Ingredients for the one bowl  batter

Whole wheat flour _ 1 cup

Banana_ 1 

Pear 1 chopped into small pieces

Baking powder 1tsp

Baking soda_1/2tsp

Jaggery/gur _ 1/2 cup( soaked in milk)

Honey _ 3_4 tbsp 

Cinnamon powder, vanilla essence

Milk to make the batter

I made a simple one bowl batter by hand using a spoon

Bake in preheated oven for 35_40 minutes at 180 degree celcius 

Drizzle Chocolate powder and cocoa powder on the cooled cake
