Nutty Moist Banana Cake

A new recipe from my latest addition of recipe book. I love soft and light cakes and even for banana cake I would source for the recipe that gives the soft and light texture. So I found my second love from my new book. However, I still love the old recipe as much.

There are sooo many different recipes for banana cake, which I have tried out but.... I am not a nutty person neither do my family. Till recently my son started to like eating raw mixed nuts and dried fruit that comes in a packet. I stolen some of the mixed nuts from the packet and added into this banana cake which called for walnuts. What really makes me pick this recipe is all because the picture on the recipe book! I could see the cake is moist and soft although some time the pictures in some books could be deceiving, but this one proved it right! The cake is soft, moist and not oily at all.  And I never knew that eating banana cake with the mixed nuts is such a wonderful joy. I am glad I gave this a try.
