This recipe is from Deepa. Just 4 months back, I didn’t know about her. Since then, I interacted a few times and absolutely loved to get emails from her. When I came to know she is from my neighboring state Goa, I requested her to send some authentic Goan recipes. She sent two recipes, one was the prawn balchuan and the second was ‘banana cake’. She even mentioned that “It’s a different way of making a cake, with rava instead of flour”, but somehow, I just missed that line. But last week I was going through some of my old emails and I read more cautiously this time and was amazed to see a cake recipe without flour.
I have been going through different food blogs and saw dishes from different parts of India. But couldn’t find any Goan recipes. So this is my entry from beautiful Goa for the Independence day parade.
I baked this one today, just to be sent to the parade. I wanted to decorate it like Indian flag, but didn’t manage to get it right. When I bought different colored icings from Walmart, the lady on the counter asked me – “planning to decorate cake?”. I said “Yes, I am trying to learn”. She said “Don’t worry, however it looks, it will taste great”. That time I was 100% sure that I can decorate it well. Today I realized whatever she said was correct. I think I still have to try a lot before learning to decorate :(.
Before this, I tried two varieties of banana cakes, this and with Pushpa’s recipe. Both were amazing. What makes this cake different is the amazing aroma of cardamom and no egg in it.
Ingredients:
Ripe bananas 3
Rava (wheat sooji) 1 cup
Sodium-bi-carb(baking soda) 1/2 tsp
Cardomom powder 1/2 tsp
Coconut milk 2 cups
Sugar 1/2 cup
Cashewnuts 1 tsp
Salt
I did not add salt and used 1 tea spn baking powder instead of baking soda.
Method:
Roast rava over low heat in a kadai until aroma wafts from pan. Soak the rava in coconut milk for 2 hours.
Mash the bananas and add to rava along with sugar. Add soda, salt and cardamom powder. Mix the cashews. Apply little ghee to cake mould (I used parchment paper in the baking tray), pour in the mixture.
Preheat the oven at 350F for 10mins. Bake for around 35mins at 350 F or until a knife put in center comes out clean.
Decorate in whatever way required (optional).
Makes 8 pieces
Preparation time : 10min (excluding the baking time).
Would not have thought in my wildest dreams that you can make cake with sooji..awesome
Havent heard that u can bake a cake with rava and that too without egg. The recipe also is very simple and easy … would love to try it. thanks for the recipe
Wow shilpa, cake without egg is just amazing. I don’t take much egg and always search for recipes without egg:) This is something I can try—the Sooji flour thing is really new to me:)
Beautiful. Well done to u & Happy indepedence day.
Hi Shilpa,
Nice recipe. Thanx for sharing.
No eggs and flour ! This is a great recipe. Thank you so much for sharing
i have tried this cake,and it taste really good.the bananas have to be very ripe.Also you can add walnuts or cashews in the dough itself rather than toppings.I make this cake without the coconut milk as well,that is not bad either,but if you chose this path,you have to make sure to leave the banans and sooji misture to raise for atleast 5-6 hrs
Great recipe Shilpa! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Shilpa nice entry for the parade. Sounds easy and cake without egg and with sooji is interesting.
Shilpa…..My MIL too is from Goa and makes a banana cake in the cooker (on the gas stove in cake cooker which is used in Goa, havent seen it anywhere in stores) It tastes excellent. I donno the recipe, but i know she does not use coconut milk. Her cake is brownish in colour with no egg. Need to try this one and get her recipe as well.
Hi Shilpa,
Very different cake…with rava & without eggs…..should try this. Thanks for the recipe. Happy independence day.
Hey Shilpa… thats super easy & so yummy… I have so many vegetarian friends & they have to always forfeit cakes during any birthday celebrations. This ones going to be on my list now for such occassions. BTW, I also tried out ur eggless dates cake & it turned out really good. Sorry, I could’nt take a pic. My friends pounced on it as soon as it was out of the oven.
I will try this banana rava cake soon.
Hey that looks beautiful! Who said you didn’t do it well? When I decorate a cake, I would overdo it and make a mess. You did it neatly.
And thanks for bringing out this recipe.
Shilpa dear, this is one good looking cake,and such a unique recipe ! I am adding it to my recipe collection and will try it out soon. Thank you so much for bringing in such a precious find from our homeland.
Hi Shilpa,

Vineela

Thank you Shilpa… It looks yummy! 🙂
Hey Ashwini,
I have eaten ‘Rava cake’ as a child. At one of my relatives place. Thank you so much to you and Deepa for sharing this recipe. I know, it’s gonna taste wonderful. I remember the taste. Will try it as soon as possible and will let you know.
Thanks all for the lovely comments. I am honored.
hi
i have to thank you for this wonderful recipe as i am not much for white flour and such a veg cake would be a treat for my mom-in-law who does not have eggs and hence cakes . i usually make the cucumber cake which is a goan speciality and it is enjoyed and eaten by everyone now its the banana cake. i will try it blog about it and let you know
thanks again
Hi
Eggless cake with rava … really looks different and interesting. I am planning to bake it today. I havent tasted cakes so far because we are strict veggies. please do post in some more interesting eggless cake recipes…
I love banana cake. It was nice of you to post this receipe. Its really great to know that a cake can be done of sooji. Thanks a lot.
hi dear , i have microwave with micro, grill and combi options. this is not of convection mode. can i bake cake and pizzas in this . please help me
Nidhi, I have never used microwave for any kind of baking :(. So can’t help much in this regard, you might have to try. I found this when I googled about baking cakes in microwave. Have a look.
Hi supriya,
Can u please tell me what liquid you used instead of coconut milk.Thanks.
Nasim, Supriya in the above comment mentioned about using milk instead of coconut milk. But as she said, with milk you have to leave the sooji in it for around 5hrs.
I made cake with cocnut milk and baking powder. I soaked the toasted rava for 2hrs in coconut milk and somhow the whole cocnut milk was not absorbed by the rava or i didn’t see the rava risen,there was some cocnut milk still on top. Anyway after baking the cake,it came out like the sheera/uppama consistency and not like a cake. Do u know what went wrong?
Did you add the soda (or baking powder)? That is the only thing that can go wrong. It is okay if rava does not rise.
I added baking powder. Another thing what I notiched was the batter was sort of watery and not thick like regular cake batters.
Whatis the difference between parchment paper and wax paper and aluminium foil ?When do we use these?Is all for non-stick purpose?
Nasim, I have no idea what could have gone wrong. Because it is the same proportion deepa sent me and I have tried it myself with the same proportion. May be you should try once more.
As far as my knowledge goes Parchment paper and wax papers are used for baking. You can read more about them aluminium foil, Wax paper, Parchment paper
Hi Shilpa,
This is such a tasty looking cake and I have to say that the icing makes it look so much more yummy!
I was just wondering whether you could email me the recipe for the icing. I really want it to look as good as yours!
Thank you! 🙂
Gauri, I used Whipped cream from “Betty crocker”, blue decorating icing from “Cake mate” and Red, green, desert sprinkles crystals(Great value). I got all of these from Walmart.
Hi Shilpa, I have tried your recipe . It was very good. Thank you very much .
Hi Shilpa, Thank you very much for your recipe. I have tried your recipe . It was very good
Hi Shilpa!
I tried your eggless banana cake and it was very good in test. When I cooked it came out stiky..i don’t know why? I want to know why we need to soak rava for 2 hours? I soked only for half an hour. Please let me know where I did mistake? I am crazy for eggless cake becaue I dont have eggs.
Thank you!
Krupa,
When it is soaked for 2 hours, the rava absorbs the coconut milk well and it does not become sticky after baking. After soaking well, the rava becomes thick and I think that helps to make it pluffy.
If you like eggless cakes, try date cake also. That is also amazing….
Hi Shilpa,
Thanks for the prompt response. I will try your egg-less banana cake once again and I guess this time it will come out good. I tried your Egg-less date cake twice and it was yummy. Thanks for the post. Please send me the recipe of Pineapple Egg-less Cake because I love Pineapple.
Hello,
I tried the banana cake today. I cooked the cake nearly an hour and still it was sticky in the middle. I used the whole wheat rava and soaked it in coconut milk for 2 hours. Still the batter was little thin. Should we have to soak the rava when it is still hot? Did I do anything wrong?
Thank you,
Hema
Hi Shilpa
I tried this cake yesterday. I used 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup milk. I soaked the rava for about 5 hours. The batter was quite thick. The cake took an hour to bake but it was still sticky and heavy.
Any idea what I did wrong. I used 1 tsp baking powder.
Thanks
Shefali
Shefali, this cake is bit sticky compared to any other cake. It might be because of rava. It does not rise as much as normal cakes. One more thing of concern might be the roasted rava. If it is not roasted properly, the cake might get sticky.
Hi Shilpa,
Thanks for your suggestions. I made this cake again today.I roasted the rava properly. It came out lovely and not at all sticky.
Thank you again.
Hi Shilpa,
I made this over the weekend. And it was excellent. My 1 year old daughter loved it.
Thanks very much for this recipe.
Chandrika
Hi Shilpa
The receipe is too good . I make no. of cakes using rawa . I always put milk instead of coconut milk & soak for about 3/4 hrs. It turns out fantastic.
Laxmi
Hi Shilpa,
One query. Are you using the thin rava or thick rava for this cake. Pls let me know as I intend to bake it in this week end.
Vanessa
Vanessa, I used the fine rava for this.
Hi Shilpa!I tried out this cake and it turned out beautifully!thnx! the recipes here are amazing!

Archu Pritish
Hi Shilpa,
I am new to ur blog. I tried the Rawa eggless cake, and followed all instructions, but added almonds instead of cashews (since I didnt have any almonds at home).
The cake didnt rise very well, and is slightly sticky. It tastes okay, but seems like it could have been fluffier. I did add baking soda.
Hi, the rava cake looks yummy!. Whenever you bake a cake, try adding a spoonful of roasted rava well before baking and the end product is yummy!
I made one with rava and coconut powder in it, and it came out sooo well!!!
Hello Shilpa,
do you know whether I can bake the cake in the microwave?
I donot have a oven here, but still I would like to try this out… Will it still turn out good?
I found some recipes over the net http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1729,145163-226200,00.html
I am yet to try out this weekend, and will update
Thanks!

I jst wntd to kno that can i use milk completely instead of Coconut milk.?In case i use milk shd i soak it for ard 4-5 hrs.? Also, which other fruit can try apart frm bananas..(will oranges be ok ..!)pls suggest n lemme kno.
I wud like to post a simple ice-cream recipie also wh i tried out n is lovely..pls inform whr n hw to post it.

There is this great website called http://www.astray.com where a lot of microwave cake recipes are given. Have tried the microwave chocolate cake, banana cake, pumpkin cake, carrot cake,marble cake,mango cake as well as the basic microwave plain cake……all have turned out great.Plus its really,really quick.Once you are hooked on to microwave baking,you would never want to return to the conventional.
Shilpa ji,
Greetings from Suva Fiji
Awesome I could have never imagined that suji could be used for banana cakes. Will have to try it out.
Hi Shilpa,
I hav a general query abt storage of all cakes, including this one n the dates cake tht i baked jst yestrday….Actually all ur cakes tht i tried were so yummy that they gt finished up instantly..!! But still, wud like to kno..How many days/time can d cake remain fresh outside after we hav baked it..N when do we nid to refrigerate it..
Thnks n Regards,
Meenal.
Shilpa: Meenal, usually cake remains good outside for 2-3 days. I don’t suggest keeping it more than that. When refrigerated, they become hard, so I prefer keeping them outside.
Thnks alot Shilpa for d info….Kip posting all such gr8 recipies of urs….its like a feast always for all of us….as all ur recipies are a great hit..they just turn out perfect..
Meenal.

I’ve tried this receipe. Its really good. Thank you for sharing it.

hi shilpa, myself and my daughter tried this recepie.It is really tasty. The only thing is that iam not able to set the temperature for baking the cake since i hav an OTG.
made this cake now. tastes nice, looks good. But it is dark brown in colour(like a chocolate cake). Took a long time to cook than the other normal cakes.i use the microwave convection oven. Is that the reason of the colour. followed the same procedure as you have suggested.
Hello,
its great seeing that you have diffrent ideas on how to make cake….with sooji. But i would like yo know if you know any eggless & milkess cakes? please do get back to me if you do or not.
Thankz
Shilpa: Dolly, so far whatever eggless cakes I had, I have posted here. If I get something in future, I will surely post it.
Hi Shilpa,

Hi,
I just wanted to know wheter I can make this banana cake by substituting oven for a pressure cooker
amazing
am not so fond of cooking but i tried the eggless banann rava cake it came out really good.
thanks.
Hi,
First time on your blog. You must be a very methodical person going by the arrangement – clean, simple, and beautiful! I have never heard of a recipe with rava! Must try this out!
Hi Shilpa,
Yesterday only I read this receipe and tried today. It came out awesome!! Iwas scared of the combination. so tried with 1 banana only. But now I can make it with 6 also..:)
Thanks a ton!!
Thanx shilpa for sharing lovely reecipes of eggless cakes.. I have tried both.. n both turned out yummy… as a child i loved cake but since i developed egg allegy i yearned to have one.. thanx again..
Dear Deepa,
I was shocked to see, that the cake which i made following the receipe above was nonth less than a buiscuit. I dont know where i went wrong. I followed strictly what u said. Rather i baked just for 25 min still the sides were totally black (burnt). Also I dont know how to preheat the oven. Since its written on the oven handbook that one should not put on the oven without anything inside. Do we need to steam the cake before putting it in the oven? Please guide. Reply me on my ID pls. Thanks.
hi shilpi ur collection of receipes r wonderful & specially this cake of rava bt some how i think that bananas goes better with walnuts instead of cashew bcoz walnuts r more crispie
Hi Shilpa,
I mase this cake and came out very well.I tried koplbale and they came good too.Can you post some more sweets and gravys (north indian style).Thak u very much for all the effort u r putting.
Looks great Shilpa! I generally add rava o cakes too for added texture:) I made a post about different egg substitutes today too, just so people can have more eggless recipes!:)
Hi Shilpa
Wonderful recipe…i am going to try it today for my hubby…just wanted to ask u few things…
can i used chocolate icing on this cake,if yes can u pls give me the recipe
is it ok if i dont use the parchment paper
thanks
varsha.
Hi Shilpa,
Can I use thick version of wheat sooji instead of thin one? What are the chances of it getting baked? 🙂 🙂
Have a Great Day
Cheers
Priyamvada
Shilpa: Yes you can use. No matter which sooji is used, make sure to roast it well.
Hi Shilpa, this cake came out very good, i followed the recipe as is: the only change I made was, I used 1 tsp of baking powder and added a pinch of baking soda salt. Also I baked the cake flat on a cookie tray, so it baked evenly. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Shilpa,
Iv tried this cake twice with milk but dint get it right..
Followed all instructions properly, I used baking powder ; but cake came out sticky n dint rise….I always keep drooling over this recipie whn i visit ur blog….Will try it again today n this time with Store bought Coconut milk that i got here in Denmark..hope that works..! Since its winter here should i keep the rava n Coconut milk mixture in some warm place for 2 hours..?…or for longer time…? Pls suggest.. Iv tried many of ur cakes which came out gr8 in the first instance,except this one….Want to get this distinct Rava cake also good …as im longing to taste it.. 🙂
Thanks and Regards,
Meenal

sunita
hi i have some punjabi friends and thay are veraterin dont eat eggs i like to no how to make cake or any sweet with egg
Before baking it looked exactly like shown in your piture. But after baking it turned out black and sticky inside. Noone ate it! I have tried various banana baking and as usual it turns out black and sticky.
what must have gone wrong?
Shilpa: I have no idea 🙁 Sorry.
I tried this cake last weekend and it came out excellent !! I and my hubby absolutely loved it 🙂 Thank you very much for this and all other wonderful recipes !! Good luck 🙂
it was great to learn about an eggless cake, indeed it was a research, i’m looking for more cake recipes that is less in sugar and eggless and healthy… i have been baking since grade school no formal schooling but i just love baking but since my mother died of diabetes i am more careful in choosing recipes… thanks so much and more power to you… wish i had more time to experiment all your recipes.. Merry Christmas in advance!
Hey, that is pretty simple! Would love to try such simple recepies and make my family happy 🙂
hi shilpa,
I have already tried your eggless dates cake which came out well n appreciated by many for which i even left a comment to you. thanx for that receipe.
I tried this eggless rava cake but this time it didn’t turn out well. the batter was quite runny and when I baked it, the top was quite liquid inspite of baking it for further more time whereas the bottom part was getting darker n then slowly burnt as well as.
Half way thru the baking , it struck to me that I should have added some whole-wheat flour to that runny batter and bake it. the next time I will try this cake, I shall be doing that n check the outcome then.
Hi Shilpa,
My son is allergic to coconut milk so I made the other recipe you have given link to in your post. It came out excellent. Thank you very much for such great recipes. I am a regular at your site and every single recipe has been amazing. Thanks for helping all of us bringing variety with simplicity to the table.
Medha
can u pl mail me some good egless receipies, sepcially where I can bake without oven (I mean on gas)
I have just finish baking the eggless dates cake. The taste is divine.
The eggless rava banana cake is amazing. During the vacation I will definitely bake it.
It is a great relief to have access to so many eggless receipies.
Hi Shilpa this is a lovely receipe,which coconut milk should be used ? Can I use Chaokoh coconut milk?
http://drhot.stores.yahoo.net/coconutmilk.html
Manasi [:)]
Shilpa: You can use any coconut milk.
Cake without all purpose flour and oil/butter was out of my imagination… Good one I will surely try it.
Hi Shilpa
I’m from Goa and I do make this version of cake…sometimes I use mango too..u can use mixed fruit pulp too and its as good….ur site is good…thanks…my recipes are always using stuff thats available and I enjoy cooking….so keep up the good work…
Hai
Yu have not recomended any dressing on bannana cake tell some some decorations for it.
hi shilpa ,
your above receipe seems to be great , i will try & give you fbk
METHOD I FOLLOWED FOR BANANA CAKE :-
LOW HEATED RAVA FOR 15 MINUTES IN KADAI TILL THE AROMA ARRIVED .
SOAKED RAVA IN MILK FOR 5 HRS (RAVA ABSORBED 80% OF THE MILK)
THEN MIXED THE SOAKED RAVA WITH SMASHED BANANA & SUGAR IN MIXER . ALSO ADDED BAKING POWDER
KEPT IN OVEN FOR 45 MIN .
CAKE DIDNT RISE & WAS NOT AT ALL POROUS
IT WAS STICKY
& WAS LIKE SHEERA, (INFACT SHEERA IS BETTER)
WHERE DID I WENT WRONG , I USED MIXER FOR FOR MIXXING ALL THE MATERIAL WAS THAT WENT WRONG ?
THANKS
SHILPA
Shilpa: Yes, you should not use mixer for mixing. That would make the rava a paste.
MY YEASTERDAYS COMMENT WAS VANISED FROM THE SITE ??????????????
THANKYOU SHILPA, FOR YOUR PROMPT & EFFICIENT FBK
Hi Shilpa ,
Is there any way by which i can make the cakes in a pressure cooker ? . I don’t have a microwave at home but your recipes really tempt me to try the cakes

Hi,
You have wonderful recipe collection.I have a query.Whenever i bake using banana be it muffin or cake,i see lots of hair like strands,which becomes darker as days go by.Is it due to the banana variety?This puts off my family from eating it.Can you tell me what could be the reason.Thank you for taking your time.
Hi, Can we cook this in the microwave as I don’t have an oven. Please reply, thanks.
hi
i tried banana cake with rava today.i was really confused whether to try or not because i read comments saying that it didn’t came out that good.Any way for me it came out good with out being sticky
sindhu
I simply loved it. From long time searching for a recipie of this kind. Hope to get more in future from you. Thanx.

I tried the Banana Cake with Rava, instead of coconut milk, i used pasturised full cream milk. The cake was a little hard..any comments?
Shilpa: No. I have no idea.
Hi Shilpa
This morning I baked the Banana Rava Cake. I did not mash the bananas well and realized this after mixing it with sooji. I blended the mixture and made it into a smooth paste. I fried the sooji last night and soaked it in Coconut milk over night. I baked the bread for about an hour. It tasted so yummy. Thanks to the list of Eggless Cakes you posted…..I developed a liking to baking cakes. Thank you for all the recipes.
i liked the recipie ishall try it and if my children declare it good then on i shall keep in touch with u,i shall let u know the result.bye

Shilpa: Is it written oven proof on it?
Hello Shilpa,tried out ur eggless date cake and it turned out simply superb!!
In this banana cake recipe,can u let me know whether we need to grind the sugar and banana before adding it to the rava?
Thanks.
Shilpa: Need not be ground. Just mashing them is enough
Thanks for ur quick reply…what about the sugar?does it need to be ground?
Shilpa: I din’t grind when I made this.
Hi,
I tried this cake and it came out really well…Everyone liked it…
Thanks for the recipie…
Sounds great, u got wonderful comments too. Can i use regular full cream milk instead of coconut milk??
Thanks,
Rakhi
You have to give it a try. I haven’t tried with milk.
how to make this in a lg microwave which has only minutes option and no temperatures option
hi Shilpa,
Today was my first time with baking cake and thanks to your recipe it went real good. I feel motivated to cook more cakes.
Thanks again.
Dear Shilpa,
You can tell all who need to know that cakes can be prepared without an oven also. All have pressure cookers at their homes. Place some dry sand at the bottom in the place of the grid, remove the rubber ring & the the whistle and carry on baking. Only this takes a little more time than tyhe usual. It can also be done on a tawa. Simply put the mixture in any aluminium container, keep some dry sand on the tawa & place the container on it & voila cakes can be baked.
Also we get simple gas ovens of aluminium accompanied with a dish of aluminium too which is to loaded with dry sand and the gas oven has a hollow for dry air to pass it becomes easy for baking.
I have personally tested it so I can guarantee that cakes do come out fine.
Thanks

Hi,
Love your cake recipes and am going to try them out. Had a question. You use baking soda instead of baking powder? why is tht so?
can they replace each other?
thnks in anticipation.
Different cake recipes need different leavening agents which make them fluffy. If you replace one with other, the texture changes.
Hi,
I would like to give a try…i have only microwave…so can i prepare this in it..??
Anyone tried in microwave?
Hi Shilpa,

You have a gr8 blog. Keep up the good job!
Hi Shilpa,
I made this cake two days back. It was a little hard. But everyone was happy with the cake as it tasted good. I baked this cake in a microwave.
Thanks,

Very nice recipe. Can the batter be steamed just like idli or cucumber cake? Please let me know the details.
Probably it will work. Never tried though.
