Banana & Dry Fruits Loaf Cake


          Here is a healthy and a delicious homemade loaf cake having the goodness of both bananas and some dry fruits. This combination is very good as it has the flavor of the bananas and the crunch coming from the crushed dry fruits. You can use up any over-ripe bananas in this recipe. 

          Enjoy it as it is, with your evening cup of tea or simply as a desert with your favorite ice-cream topping or some homemade rabdi drizzled over it. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.








  • 2 cups refined flour
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup yoghurt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp. vanilla essence
  • 1/2 cup mixed dry fruits, crushed








          Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, add the mashed banana, brown sugar, yogurt, eggs and vanilla essence. Combine everything and add the crushed dry fruits. Mix well.

         Gently fold in the sifted flour and transfer the contents to a greased loaf tin. Bake in a preheated microwave oven for 40 minutes.

          Remove the tin on a wire rack and set aside to cool for 30 minutes. Flip it over on the rack and let it cool further.
