lazy cooks malty walty banana cake.

Hi.......i baked this banana loaf  cake ,coz i had overripe bananas lying in my freezer,a la nigella lawson!Actually i tried it for the first time(freezing bananas)and i must say that though they(bananas) looked d..isg...ustin...g as they defrosted,they lent themselves very well to the cake/bread.The malt element is purely optional,but it definately elevates this to another level.
The Ingredients
3 over ripe bananas(the ones in the pic are not the over ripe ones..they looked really bad as they defrosted...these are their better looking cousins).you need one cup of mashed banana.
2 eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup oil(forgot to put it in the pic!)
1 3/4 cup of flour(maida...you can also use atta,but you'll have a heavier cake)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of any malted milk food(maltova,horlicks,nutramul,compleat etc etc)
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
THE LAZY WAY TO DO IT.
1.Sieve the dry ingrds together(maida.baking soda,salt)Toss the walnuts in this.
2.Pre heat your oven,set it to 180degC.Prepare your loaf pan(smear oil/butter all over the inside of the pan then dust it well with flour)
3.In your blender jar put the rest of the ingrds(the mashed bananas,the two sugars,eggs,oil and the malted milk food)Blend till its all combined.
4.Add the product of your blender to the dry stuff.Mix till combined.Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 35 to 40 mins..till a skewer(or knife)inserted into the body of the cake comes out clean...The sides of the cake also start getting away from the tin.
5.Take it out,cut nice chunky slices and enjoy.Before i could take more pics of this it was gone!
