My Genius Lunch Box By Uma Raghuraman@masterchefmom | My First Cookbook |Eggless Banana Walnut Cake

Hi Supermoms,

First of all, a big hug to each and everyone of you. I am truly overwhelmed by your love and response to my post about the release of my first cookbook ‘My Genius Lunch Box’ published by Penguin Random House. The book is officially releasing on 13th July,2020. 

I have repeatedly shared that it is because of your love and trust that I am able to share my passion for cooking and recipes with all of you. This book is the sum total of my passion and I just can’t wait to see you all cooking from the book and share with me the feedback from your young ones. 

As a gesture to express my gratefulness for all your LOVE and SUPPORT , I made this simple and delicious Banana Walnut Cake. This is a foolproof recipe and I am sure that this recipe will delight your young ones and also impress everyone else in your family. 

 This is an eggless, super moist cake and you will have yummy banana walnut cake  in just 30 minutes. 

I have tried and tested this so many times and  in so many variations and it never fails. 

You have to just follow the procedure diligently. And the tip for making perfect cakes is to use the same cup for measuring different ingredients and use good teaspoons and measuring cups   that are available in the market. 

You can bake this as a cake ( using a cake pan) or as a loaf too.
