• STEP 2.2 once combined add ½ tsp baking powder, ¼ cup chopped dates, ¼ cup chocolate chips, 1 ½ ripe banana mashed, 1 tsp vanilla essence, ¼ tsp salt and 2 cups flour (1 ½ cup whole wheat flour + ¼ cup bajra+¼ cup jowar).

step 3

step 4

• STEP 4.4 grease a loaf pan or round tin or muffin cups, with butter by applying butter or oil all over the inside of the baking tin. Then dust flour all over the inside so that it sticks to the greased sides. Invert the tin over the sink and tap it to remove any excess flour.

• STEP 5.5 pour the cake batter into the pan and gently spread it out evenly to the sides using a spatula.
