Nut & Raisin Banana Bread Cake

If bananas, nuts and raisins were ever involved in a threesome, the love child of their steamy affair would be this delicious, moist banana bread.  This recipe is as simple and straightforward as it gets!

Ingredients

• 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 4 Ripe bananas, mashed into puree
• 1 Cup Sugar
• ½ Cup Vegetable Oil/ Melted Margarine
• 2 Eggs
• ½ Cup Raisins
• ¼ Cup Roasted Peanuts (chopped)
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon Powder
• 1 Tsp Baking Soda
• 1 Tsp Baking Powder

Procedure

1. Preheat Oven at 180 Celsius.
2. In a bowl, mix all the wet ingredients (Oil/Melted Margarine, eggs and mashed bananas), then add in the sugar and whisk thoroughly.   
3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients ( Flour, Baking Soda and Powder)
4. Sift the flour mix into the wet ingredients. Using a wooden spoon/spatula, whisk until a smooth batter is attained.
5. Add in the chopped nuts and raisins.
6. Grease or line a bread tin or glass dish with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the dish.
