For the final day of cooking for BM#55, under Bookmarked recipes, I remembered a very old recipe that I had been wanting to bake since the moment it was shared. While I wanted to make another gravy and make it a series of gravies as well, I was compelled to make something else as well. Amma had two big bananas that were fast becoming very ripe. She sent them across and before I could even think, the bananas were going black.

So I chopped up the banana, add a tsp of sugar and refrigerated, hoping I will bake by night. Day simply flew and it was almost next day that I finally baked it. Hubby dear loved it so much. Infact when I was asking him if he would want a banana walnut cake, he said he remembers me making it already. I was much happy that he was also thinking about the blog!

Anyway I said this recipe that I wanted to try is a different combination that I haven't shared yet. so I set out to make. As I said planning to make something takes more time than the actual cooking time these days and I quickly wanted to bake it right then. The cake turned out so delicious, with just the right sweetness and so much like the tea cakes I am so fond of. Infact I felt I just couldn't stop with one slice!

Even though it had walnuts in it, kids loved it too. So its a recipe worth making again and again.


When Bharathy had posted it many years ago, I loved her set up and the way the loaf had turned out. I am so glad I finally made it. Looks like this recipe has traveled across many spaces.
