Yes, you can bake by steaming method also!!! It is really quick and easy way to make a spongy and moist cake which is delicious and yummy. When I read about it, I was so excited to make it as it was super simple and less messy. And after I baked by this method, my family keeps on demanding it more and more!!!

It is actually a Chinese way of making cake.

So enjoy the super tasty and healthy, steamed banana cake –

Preparation Time – 10 min              Cooking Time – 20 mins

Ingredients:

All purpose flour (maida) – 100 gm

Sugar- 50 gm (powdered)

Ripe Banana – 1 big or 2 small (mashed)

Milk – ¼ cup

Water – 2 -3 tsp

Oil – 1 tsp (any flavourless oil)

Baking Powder – 2 tsp

Raisins or choco chips or tutti fruti– 1tsp (optional)

Pan – greased and dusted with flour

Method:

 Sieve baking powder and flour together, twice and keep it.

Keep the steamer ready. (You can use any utensil like cooker, deep pan or kadai 
for steaming.) Put water in it and bring it to rolling boil.

In a bowl mix all the ingredients except flour and raisins or choco chips.

Beat them all until well combined.

Now add flour and mix gently. Add raisins or choco chips. Check for no lumps in 
the batter. It should be smooth.

Now pour the batter in the greased pan and steam for 15-20 min. Check with a 
toothpick by inserting in the center of the cake. It should come out clean.

When the cake is done, remove from the steamer and allow it to cool for about 20 
mins. The cake will leave the sides of the pan by itself and then invert it on a plate.

 Serve warm. 

It can be stored only for a day in the fridge.

Tips:

Bring all the ingredients to room temperature.

Put enough water in the steamer so that it doesn’t get all dried up in between.

Do not beat after mixing the flour. Just mix it slowly so that no lumps are there.

Do not cover the cake pan. Only cover the utensil in which you are steaming.

Do not open the lid while steaming.

 If using cooker, don’t use rubber ring (gasket) and whistle.

You can top it up with butter frosting, or just have it plain and enjoy the divine taste!
