Hey Vijitha
How many days does this cake last….
Abigail …It will stay good for more than a week.Its better to refrigerate it if you want it to stay for a month. VIJI

Hi Lakshmi. I'm sure you will like it.. Will be waiting to hear from you.VIJI
Hi Vijitha
This is a woderful recipe. I have a oven in my home which I haven’t used much. Thinking of preparing this cake with cream (As I am veggy too 🙁 ). Can you clarify weather to use single cream or double cream? And one more doubt what type of vessel can I use to bake cake’s (Iam a new oven user)
Thanks in advance
Hi RajiHari
When baking this cake you can use aluminum baking pan or non stick baking pan. Or else you can get aluminum foil baking pans in baking needs section or else you can get the same in dollar shops too. Just use and throw it. That makes your work easy.
There are so many diff types of oven. So if you have instructions how to use oven just go ahead and read it.
Regarding cream i have no idea about single cream and double cream. I use milk cream. You can find that in all shops. If not first try without any cream. You wont find much difference when the banana is ripe. Hope this helps you.

Hi Thank you. I'll try and let you know the results.
hi vijitha, I am very fond of cakes ,i do eat shop bought cakes n cookies with eggs( invisible….)
,i never prepare and eat egg(visible..haha) items .So if u know any cake recipe without egg plz post(then i can prepare in my house) ,or if u know any alternative in this banana nut cake instead of egg plz let me know .anyways nice post vijitha,we r vegetarians,and in my family egg also not vegetarian ,though it is veg (scientifically). Now though i fond of cakes ,i can't use egg, bcoz i raised like that,…i think u got it.anyways thank u vijitha u posted a very nice and mouth watering recipe. i usually buy this banana nut cake and u tempted me to buy.
Hi Sudha,
I can tell you one thing, I tried this recipe one time without egg, The taste is a bit different from the original one.Other than that everything was fine. Next time i substitute the egg with ¼ cup cream.But at that time i reduced the butter to 6 tbsp. That was better than the earliest trial.As you have seen, this recipe just contains 1 egg. So you can easily avoid that or substitute it. Even i love cakes and cookies very very much.Hope this helps you and makes you happy.
