Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up in the morning with the sweet smell of a cake or a bread baking wafting through the house?

(To know more about fats used in baking please refer to my blog on various fats that are available in the market.) Inspite of having only 3 tbsp of oil in it, it is so moist and delicate thanks to the bananas and the buttermilk. Buttermilk has naturally occurring stabilisers which help to retain moisture in the cake. Other advantage of having buttermilk is that it is acidic in nature and reacts well with the soda bicarb to produce good leavening. Banana puree is also acidic in nature and together with the buttermilk helps to make the cake light and moist.
