• Add the essence, cinnamon/ cardamom powder, pureed banana to the content. Lastly add the dry fruits.
• Now take the baking bowl, grease it with butter or spray oil and sprinkle little coat of dry flour to the bowl.
  
• Take the batter and pour it into the baking sheet. Remeber to allow the raising space in the bowl, meaning.
• Only fill the baking sheet to half the depth so that it can have space to raise and batter won't fall down in the oven raising.
• Now place the baking sheet in the oven and bake it for 35 minutes. Make sure it is baked properly by placing the knife or toothpick when poked should comeout clean.
• You can also eat it as is without icing or you can also ice it to enhance the taste and presentation.
  
• For Icing:
  You can use whipped cream or any frosting that is readily available in groceries. We have to apply icing only when the cake is completely cooled.
• Tips:
  You can adjust the consistency by adding little more milk. Egg eaters can use 2 eggs and reduce the milk. You can also use flax seeds powder, condensed milk, apple sauce etc. But cakes that uses the eggs are even more fluffier and soft. The baking time varies from oven to oven. So examine it carefully to see it is not overbaked. If overbaked it may not be soft. Make sure that it have enough raising space in the baking bowl. As in, don't fill the sheet till its brim.
