    • Take a cake tin of 9 inches and pour melted butter in it.
    • Add brown sugar and mix it properly with the butter.
    • Spread the mixture evenly on the base of cake tin.
    • Now arrange the round pieces of bananas all over the base of cake tin over the brown sugar mixture. Keep aside.

    Preparation of cake

    • Mix it well until the sugar dissolves completely.
    • Now add vanilla essence and mix it again.
    • Add mashed bananas and mix properly.
    • Now take a big sieve and place it over the bowl.
    • Add whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in it.

    • Mix everything properly leaving behind no lumps. But don't overdo.

    Notes

    1. For making instant buttermilk, take 1 cup of milk in a glass and add 1 tsp of white vinegar in it. Don't mix or/& shake or move the glass for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, your instant buttermilk will be ready.
    2. You can also use curd of the same quantity in place of buttermilk.
    3. Avoid adding salt if you are using salted butter.
    4. All purpose flour can be used in place of whole wheat flour. We used whole wheat flour to make the cake healthy.
