Banana cake

This is the first self-styled baking recipe I ever created and managed to pull off with a flourish which didn't involve any burns, cuts, scrapes or first-aid-equipped tasters. The ratio is the most optimum possible.Also, one of the softest eggless, sugarfree baking recipe I tried in two decades! I will be posting pictures of this one soon!

Ingredients:

Bananas-----2 large (or 4 medium), cut into small pieces
Honey-----4-5 tablespoons (according to your taste)
All-purpose baking flour (maida)----1.5 cups
Baking powder-----1.5 teaspoons
Baking soda----0.5 teaspoons
Unsalted butter/Oil----1-1.25 cups
Chopped nuts and/or chocochips---Use at your own discretion!

Method:
Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 350 F/180 C.
Grind the bananas combined with the honey in a high-powered blender to a smooth consistency. At this point, you can taste the slush for the sugar appropriation. Melt the butter (if using) for a minute in the microwave and add to the banana-honey slush. Mix it well with a slotted spoon/cake-beater. Now add the flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix into the  batter so that no lumps remain. Add in the chopped nuts/ chocolate chips and mix the batter well. It can be of either of a dollop-drop consistency (which would make it more creamy) or a kneaded dough like consistency (which would make it more of a banana bread than a banana cake!). Grease a baking dish with oil/unsalted butter and pour in the batter. Place it inside the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick/fork pierced into the the cake comes out clean! Your all healthy, eggless, sugarfree cake/banana bread is ready to be devoured. :)
