this one was something ishu di asked me to make.the way she said it made it sound simple...and well it was simple to make.of course for the details i had to google it but still i made it and i ate it...so down it goes in the history of my blog...
the ingredients were...(now since i googled this receipe i have the measures too...only thing is i halved everything.else my mom will scream saying "u waste while cooking"....sigh sigh)
anyways the ingedients were
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 2 eggs
* 2 cups flour
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (i used cardamom and almond..the reults were good with these 2 too)
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 3 soft, ripe bananas, mashed
now here's what i did:
added butter and sugar and tried to cream it just like the instructions said.but my butter was frozen so not much 'creaming' happened...so out of frustration i put the butter sugar gooey mixture and the banana and eggs in the mixer and blended them all...i was happy with the result and i happily continued with the rest of the instructions...
to this mixture i added the chopped nuts, baking soda and the flour and made a batter out of this.thing of note...i did not use half tsp baking soda...pooja once told me things dont rise if there is less baking soda..so these days i dont take any chance...anyways.after this i put the batter in a baking vessel (ideally its supposed to be a loaf pan but i will be damned if we get a loaf pan in gangtok....so i used my mom's normal 4 corner borosil baking pan)...baked it at 325 degree farenheit (which google told me was 162 degrees celsius) for 1 hour...

the result was what u see above.....which by the time i post this will be all gone :)
ps: while i was chopping the nuts i found out 2 things...
1.nuts get chopped better with blunt knife...
2.cashewnuts dipped in chocolate spread tastes like heaven...more than that.like angels singing beautiful songs in heaven.but i think this thing should be posted with a warning because the combination of chashew and chocolate spread can be so rich calorie wise that having too much of it will probably send you to...well...heaven :)
