There are two main reasons why I like banana cake. One is taste, and the other is the simplicity of any banana cake recipe. And this banana raisin cake recipe is easy-to-make and tastes fantastic.
USE OVERRIPE BANANAS
When buying bananas, it is best to choose firm and unscarred bananas so you can monitor and figure out the best ways to use your bananas. I always let them over ripe at home when I want to use them kn my bakes. Over ripe bananas are perfect in recipes such as muffins, bread, and cakes. I always recommend to use overripe bananas in baking especially in cakes, muffins to make the very best banana cake with super moist, soft and flavorful outcome, The riper the bananas, the more moist your cakes will be and the more banana flavor it will have! The outcome of the cakes will be tender and packed with full of flavor.
HOW EASY IS THIS BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE?
This banana raisin cake recipe is super simple, easy and fuss-free. It doesn’t require a stand mixer or a hand mixer. There is no fancy equipment required. Just a bowl and a spatula or hand whisk does the work. The batter takes less than 15 minutes to throw together and gets perfectly baked in 35 minutes. This is one of the easiest banana cake recipe and the result is absolutely amazing. I am sure you’ll fall in love with it. Do watch the video tutorial below on how to make this moist banana raisin loaf cake. You will be surprised to see how easy it is to make at the comfort of your home with few easy steps.

BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE VIDEO TUTORIAL
LETS TALK INGREDIENTS
It is a very basic banana bread recipe. It uses ingredients most commonly found in our pantries.
● Whole Wheat Flour – For a healthier version used whole wheat flour.
● Banana – Used over ripe bananas. Over ripe bananas are best to use in baking.
● Brown Sugar – Brown sugar yields soft and moist cakes. It adds an awesome flavor and texture to the cake. No doubt a healthier option too as compared to refined sugar.
● Milk – Used whole milk. Recommend to use whole milk for extra richness, taste and texture.
● Oil – I have used refined sunflower oil. You can use any flavorless oil. I prefer using oil than butter for a soft and moist outcome.
● Leavening agents (Baking powder & baking soda) – There’s a combination of baking powder and baking soda in this banana raisin loaf cake to give it the perfect amount of lift.
● Egg – I have used only 1 large egg and that does the work as banana itself is a perfect substitute of egg.
● Vanilla Essence – Used vanilla essence. You can choose extract over essence.
● Salt – A dash of salt to balance out the sweetness.
● Raisins – The slightly sweet and tartness from the raisin in this banana cake is amazing. You can feel it in every bite of the cake.
INGREDIENTS SUBSTITUTION IN BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE
● Whole wheat flour can be substituted with all purpose flour (maida) or you can use 50-50 ratio.
● You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar.
● You may also use other healthier sweeteners are jaggery, cane sugar, honey etc.
● You may use butter instead of oil or any flavorless oil will work.
● To make it vegan use any dairy free milk or just even water for the liquid.
● To make an eggless version you may choose anyone of these
☆ Use 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and use ½ cup milk altogether.
☆ Use ¼ cup curd/yogurt instead of egg.
● You may use black raisins instead of the regular rasins.
● You may use vanilla extract instead of essence.
BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE VARIATIONS
● If you want nutty taste and texture, add nut in the batter also once the batter is ready. Lightly coat the nuts with flour and just throw in the batter and give a quick gentle mix.
● Use nut of your choice like pecans or walnuts etc. You can also use mixed nuts as per your palate preference.
● You may also replace the raisins with chocolate chunks or chocolate chips to make it banana chocolate chips cake.
● You can spice up the cake by adding cinnamon powder. The sweet aroma of the cinnamon adds extra flavor to your cake which will make you drool.
● You can use rum soaked raisins which will take your loaf cake to a different level. Its yummilicious!
● You can also soak the raisin in fruit juice. Any juice you love.
● You can put this batter into muffin tins and make banana raisin muffins.
To make muffins, line a muffin tin with paper liners or just grease it with oil or butter and fill each cup to roughly ¾ full, and bake for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
HOW TO STORE BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE?
Let the cake cool down completely and store it in airtight container. Banana raisin cake can be kept for upto 2-3 days at room temperature depending upon the temperature of your place. If you need to store it a couple days longer then I suggest storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
HOW TO FREEZE BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE?
Cling wrap the cake and put it in a ziploc bag or airtight container then store in the freezer. I prefer to freeze sliced cake so it is much easier to take out the required servings and thaw them for breakfast or snacking. Freeze them for upto 3 months. It goes more than 3 months but best to use it within three months. To thaw the cake, remove from the freezer and allow it to come to room temperature and serve. You can also pop it in the microwave for few seconds and serve.

Cooking time – 35 minutes
Serves – 8-10
☆ 1 cup = 240 ml
☆ 1 tablespoon = 15 ml
☆ 1 teaspoon = 5 ml
☆ Pan size = 7×4×3 inches
Ingredients to make banana raisin loaf cake:
1 cup whole wheat flour (125 gms)
2 ripe banana (½ cup mashed banana)
½ cup brown sugar (90 gms)
1 large egg
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup oil (60 ml)
¼ cup whole milk (60 ml)
1 tsp vanilla essence
50 gms raisins or more + some extra for garnish
Step by step pictorial instructions to make banana raisin cake:
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 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!
NOTES:
● Always preheat oven before starting to bake.
● All ingredients should be at room temperature.
● Whole wheat flour can be substituted with all purpose flour or can bake with 50-50 of both.
● Brown sugar can be substituted with regular refined sugar.
● If you like more sweeter bread, increase the sugar quantity.
● Oil can be substituted with butter.
● Use whole milk for extra richness, taste and texture.
● Other healthier sweeteners like jaggery or cane sugar can be used.
● Every oven reacts differently so baking time may vary.
● Both rods to be switch on.
● If you wish to bake without egg use either of these mentioned below –
☆ Use 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and use ½ cup milk altogether.
☆ Use ¼ cup curd yogurt instead of egg

We weren't planning on cooking yesterday afternoon but when I saw a pair of Certified Angus Beef brand petite fillet at Food City, things changed.
 |
| Food City also had a pack of snow crabs for a low price so on the spur of the moment, we decided to make a mini-turf and surf for the afternoon's NCAA Elite 8 basketball games. |
We didn't have a lot of time because the skies were turning dark and Spring storms were popping up. I fired up one of our Big Green Eggs and got to prepping the food. I seasoned the steaks simply with Bourbon Barrel smoked salt and smoked black pepper. Did the same for the asparagus.
 |
| As you can see, one fillet was much more petite than the other. One was a heavy 5 ounces while the other barely weighed in at 3 ounces. |
While the crab legs heated up in our steamer, I raced against time to grill the steaks. My plan was to grill the smaller one about 3 min per side and the larger one about 4 min per side.
 |
| My set up for the Big Green Egg was a Kick Ash Basket full of Jealous Devil lump charcoal and a pre-heated cast iron grate from Craycort. Notice how the angle of the grates go in 3 directions? Each of those are inserts that you can lift out to add fuel or wood OR you can drop in an accessory insert like a griddle plate or veggie wok. |
 |
| Once the steaks were flipped, I added a bit of asparagus to the heat of the hot coals. |
 |
| Cooking away on the Big Green Egg. This was just before I pulled her smaller fillet off of the grill. |
 |
| Remember that plan to let the larger fillet go for a couple of minutes longer? The weather had other ideas about that and I'm fine with a rare fillet so I pulled it early. |
 |
| Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies to pair with steaks because prep is literally a snap and they cook quickly. |
 |
| Surf and turf for the games! My filet was rare due to the cooking time being cut short but like I said, I was fine with that. |
Every bite was delicious! Since we normally opt for ribeye or strip, Alexis couldn't get over how tender the steak was. Not a bad meal for an afternoon when we weren't planning on cooking in the first place.

Eggs ? are a very good source of inexpensive, high-quality protein and are considered to be one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Eggs are such a versatile food, goes well with any vegetable and enhances the taste of any dish with it. If you are bored of normal egg bhurji try it with an add-on veggie to it, for a more healthy and tasty version.
Broccoli Egg Bhurji is nothing but a combination of scrambled eggs and broccoli. Broccoli with egg is an awesome combination, makes a drool-worthy side-dish, filling and protein-rich food, good to go with steamed rice and rasam or chapatis/roti/bread. As broccoli needs less cook time, this side dish can be prepared in mins. This could be a quick breakfast recipe and also a perfect dish for the lunch box.
Broccoli ? is an edible green plant from the cabbage family whose large flowering head and stalk are eaten as a vegetable. Every part of broccoli, the stalk, small leaves, and florets are edible. Usually, broccoli is sautéed, steamed, roasted, or grilled. Broccoli is a healthy addition to your diet whether cooked or raw.
Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. We all automatically think of citrus fruits when it comes to vitamin C, but did you know that broccoli provides an excellent source of vitamin C, a nutrient known to support healthy immune response. Broccoli is also a good source of vitamin k and calcium, two vital nutrients for maintaining strong and healthy bones. Broccoli is definitely a nutrient-rich vegetable that may enhance your health in a variety of ways.
Like all vegetables, broccoli has many different varieties. Regular Broccoli has a slightly bitter flavor compared to baby broccoli(Broccolini), which has more mild, with a sweet, earthy taste. And while regular Broccoli can be eaten raw, Broccolini is best when cooked. Today I am using regular Broccoli for making this bhurji.
My kids are not a big fan of broccoli. I somehow wanted to incorporate more broccoli in our diet. Luckily this method worked for me. Kids loved this combination of broccoli ? egg ?and I have no hard time giving broccoli to my kids. They even love it for their lunch box. It a great way to add this nutritious veggie to our diet, by making it more healthy, tasty and delicious. We like this bhurji as simple as in the recipe. But you could add spices like garam masala, crushed garlic, and chili powder to enhance the flavor.
Do give a try. Broccoli Bhurji is Egg-stremely delicious!!!!
1.Cut the broccoli florets as small possible, to tiny florets(4 cups) and set aside.
2. Finely chop 1 onion and slit 5-6 green chilis.
3. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a pan/kadai, add in 1 tsp chana dal and ½ tsp jeera/cumin. Sauté until chana is light brown.
4. Next, add the chopped onion, slit green chili and 1 spring curry leaves. Sauté until onions turn translucent.
5. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and salt as needed, give a stir and add ¼ cup water. Close lid and cook on med-high flame for about 3 mins.
6. Once broccoli is cooked, yet crispy(do not overcook), push broccoli to sides of the pan, break 4 eggs in between and sprinkle salt and pepper.
7. Continuously stir the egg mixture until thickens. Once the egg is almost cooked, mix with the whole broccoli mixture and sauté for a min.
8. Once done, switch off the flame and serve hot with roti/chapathi or as a side dish for steamed rice and rasam.
