CINNAMON SPICED BANANA BLUEBERRY CAKE

ANY DAY IS A GOOD DAY TO BAKE A CAKE BUT THIS SEASON HAS A SPECIAL CONNECT WITH IT!

Until the day I live, this season would remain the most comfortable time of the year to me & this day is the best day of my life, it cannot be otherwise!Mumma sincerely wished to take to the blog a recipe & that of a cake!I baked it on the stovetop last midweek, the simplest way!What we needed to clean after the job was the blender & a spoon! I would tell you later in the post what one ingredient made my job super simple! The son is present around 24/7, yet there are some days I/we miss him more!My worries multiply reading about the cold weather there, the snowfall!The son does not care at all; last October he was wearing a t-shirt alone outside of his home!Blame it on his young blood or his nature, he was not listening to our warnings!What he is doing in our absence I have no idea!I wish to sit beside him today and feed him a fresh bake, his favourite flavoured milk and SHEMAI ER PAYESH, for a couple of years now he does not favour rice pudding! I however cooked it for him there, he did not say if he had eaten it!

A SPECIAL SUNDAY AS THIS WAS SPENT JUST AS ANOTHER DAY!

I was busy today!I went to the market to buy an electric kettle,I bought a cheap one this time to check it's longevity!In our twelve years of stay here, we already used two; a Philips lasting for seven years, then a Tefal that lasted for five years!If this one does not last,I would buy again a branded one!Back home,I cooked rice & we had a vegetarian lunch! T perhaps found it difficult to have but I loved it thoroughly with"Beulir Dal, Aloo Chechki, Dhonepata Bata Sheem, Ol Kopi Stir Fry"! Our families do not eat Ol Kopi / German Turnip / Kohlrabi, here I got it one day & quite enjoyed a stir fry! I think this is the season of it! In Kolkata too it is available in season, do not know why the family never got! I find it's taste similar to radish! This is the day we used to have the best food we enjoy at home & outside! The missing family member was also there in those days!Now the bird has grown big enough to fly out of the home! I am learning to live with the memories, it is tough!

WHAT IS THIS CINNAMON SPICED BANANA BLUEBERRY CAKE?

It is perhaps the most comfortable to prepare cake I have ever made! I was clueless about it's success when I planned to cook it!I casually got a self raising flour after a long time! Not that I do not know the ratio of the baking powder:baking soda:flour used in a cake, just that I am a lazy self, not a perfectionist to an extreme!I casually took in hand this project because I had 4-5 bananas in the refrigerator, some blueberries!I wished to try a cake with these few ingredients without leaving much of cleaning for Cristine! Thus this vegan stovetop cake,CINNAMON SPICED BANANA BLUEBERRY CAKE happened!I enjoy baking simplistic, vegetarian cakes on the stovetop!

INGREDIENTS : 

SELF RAISING FLOUR : 1 COFFEE MUG

BANANA : 2-3 STANDARD SIZED [I USED 5 SMALL SIZED]

BLUEBERRY : 12-15

BROWN SUGAR : 1 SMALL TEA CUP [I USED JAGGERY]

OIL : 1/2 SMALL TEA CUP

CINNAMON POWDER : 1 1/2 TSP

VINEGAR : 1 TBSP

PROCEDURE :

The use of self-raising flour made things easier for me!I blended together the bananas, jaggery, oil, cinnamon powder, vinegar into a smooth paste!

Thereafter, I added the self-raising flour to the paste like mixture & blended to a smooth batter!

While blending, we should pause & blend, that puts less of pressure on the blades I believe!

I had poured the batter to a foiled cake tin & tapped on the kitchen counter; so the batter is evenly spread!

I had arranged the blueberries on top & sprinkled sugar all over!

I had placed an iron wired stand atop a wok on the gas burner top, heated it for 2-3 minutes!

I had placed the batter filled cake tin atop it, let sit it properly & cover cooked it at low heat for 55 minutes to 1 hour!

And there is our easy-peasy Blueberry-Banana Cake with Cinnamon Flavours!

It would taste the best when warm! However, I needed to refrigerate it! Do take out an hour before having in that case!
