  • 70 grams raisin or 100 grams (½ cup)

Instructions
 

Preparing The Oven And Pan:

  • Preheat oven at 180° C for 10 minutes with both the filaments (rods) switch on.
  • Grease the loaf pan with oil or butter and place a parchment paper. You can grease the pan and dust it with little flour if you dont have parchment/butter paper. Also you can use any shape pan as per your availability and preference.

Preparing The Wet Ingredients:

  • Peel the banana and mash them using a fork or masher. You can also use a mixie or blender to do the work. Preferably use over ripe banana for better outcome.
  • In a mixing bowl add in the egg and beat it well.
  • Add in the brown sugar and mix well until combined.
  • Add in vanilla essence and mash banana. Mix well to combine.

Preparing The Batter:

  • Sieve in the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt into the wet ingredients.
  • Add in the oil. (oil can be added while preparing the wet ingredients. I missed to add it before hence added at this stage).
  • Mix to incorporate into a thick batter.
  • Add milk in batches and make into a semi-thick smooth batter.
  • Add in the raisins reserving soe for garnish and give a gentle quick mix.

Baking The Loaf Cake:

  • Pour the batter onto the prepared pan. Tap the pan for couple of times to release any air bubbles trapped inside.
  • Sprinkle some raisins on the top.
  • Place the cake pan in the middle rack with both filaments (rods) on.
  • Bake the cake at preheated oven @180° C for 35 minutes. A toothpick or skewer inserted should come out clean. Baking time will differ depending upon your oven temperature and settings. Start checking the doneness of the cake before the above mentioned time.
  • Remove the cake from oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the cake pan and demould the cake.
  • Transfer the cake onto a cooling rack and allow to cool down completely. Slice and enjoy!
