How to make eggless banana cake in the oven.
The same preparation method applies for making in the oven as well. First preheat the oven for 10 mins at 180 degrees. Then after preparing the cake batter, bake it in convection mode for 30 to 40 mins at 180 degrees. Then you can check using tooth prick whether the cake is completely done or not.
Tips:
How to set the pressure cooker?
The gasket and the whistle lid is not needed to bake in a pressure cooker. Only the bottom and the lid cover is needed. Fill the bottom to 1 inch with salt or sand and cover the lid. Preheat in low heat for 10 mins before placing the cake tin.
Choice of bananas: Use ripe bananas to increase the flavor and sweetness to the cake. Also mash the bananas properly before adding it to the cake batter. This will give an even and smooth texture to the cake. You can use a wire whisk or potato masher to mash the bananas.
Baking pan: choose the right size of baking pan to fit in the pressure cooker and make sure that after filling the cake batter in the tin, 1/4th space will be left for rising. Then grease the tin with butter and dust the floor. Or you can use parchment paper to avoid sticking.
Preheat: place steam wrack or any wrack inside the pressure cooker over sand or salt and preheat it in low flame for 10 mins for even baking
