Yes everybody ! It is Thursday the 17th of Aug and Vaishali's birthday today. Yes the same Vaishali (of Happy Burp) we all know who has shared with us innumerable scrumptious recipes and tantalised our senses with beautiful photographs. I am sure all of you would love to join in to wish her a Very Happy Birthday. And thats your cake Vaishali. Its not a show stopper where looks are concerned ,but where taste is concerned it is a winner. I made this delicious Banana Cake specially for your birthday,but I'm going to have to cut it and......eat it too. Sorry about that.
Here's how I made it:- 100 gms soft butter,
- 175 gms caster sugar
- 2 eggs well beaten
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 225 gms self- raising flour
- 1 tspn baking powder
- 2 tblspns milk
- 1 tspns vanilla essence
- Procedure:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg c.
- Prepare your cake tin by greasing it with butter and then dust it with flour.
- Sift the flour and the baking powder together at least twice.
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl for about 2 mins until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into the baking tin. The tin should only be half filled with batter as the cake rises a lot.
- Place in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour. Check the colour of the cake after 1/2 hour . If the top of the cake has browned nicely cover the cake loosely with an aluminium foil and then continue baking for 30 more. After the 1 hr baking time is up insert a knife in the centre of the cake. It should come out dry. if it does'nt, bake for another 5 to 10 mins.
- Let the cake cool completely before turning it over onto a plate.
- Cut into thick slices.
- Wish Vaishali a Happy Birthday and dig in.

That is a great idea. I think we should start an event around this.
I will do that .. each month we can celebrate our dear bloggers' birthday with some delicious recipes (if you don't mind). I will come up with something and notify you of that. Once again your warmth had me bowled over :)
