Baking in an Oven or OTGPreheat the oven or OTG at 180c for 15mins. Place the tin and bake the banana bread/cake for approx 55-60mins or more if it is still under cooked. To check simply insert a long toothpick of a thin knife in the centre of the cake and if it comes out clean then cake is ready. In case it comes out wet then bake for some more time till it is cooked. In case it is getting a darker shade of colour on top and the batter is still undercooked then simply cover the top of the cake with a shoot of butter paper. |

Baking in a Kadai (no oven recipe)Heat a large kadai and add 1kg regular salt to it. Heat it for 10 mins on high heat. Place a katori or ring on the salt and then place the cake tin with batter. Cover it with another place on top and lower the heat to medium. Make sure that the cake tin does not touch the salt at any time. |
