Banana Walnut Cake

IngredientsAll Purpose Flour - 1 cup
Granular Sugar - 3/4 cup
Ripe Banana - 1 1/4 cup, pureed (1 cup is good enough, I used extra quarter as that was left over and I didn't want to throw it)
Butter - 1/2 cup (You can use regular cooking oil here as well)
Fresh Curd/Yogurt - 1/4 cup
Fresh Milk - 1/4 cup
Walnut - 1/4 cup, chopped (I felt like I could have added more, so be the judge and add as much as you want)
Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Salt - a pinch

Preparation

• Chop walnut and puree Bananas
• Beat sugar with yogurt until fluffy
• Add banana puree and mix well
• Add milk and beat well
• In a separate bowl mix flour with baking soda & powder
• Now, add flour mixture little by little in the banana mixture and combine everything well
• Add butter/oil and mix well until it blends with the mixture
• At the end just fold in walnuts
• Pour the mixture in a greased tin (I used a square one) and bake at 400 degree F or 200-205  degree C for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean.

Serving

We ate almost half of it, just like that, right after it cooled down with nothing else. But, feel free to use anything you like to top it with, some powdered sugar or ice-cream or any other frosting.
