I plan on making this Wednesday night, so that I can take it to my hubby’s mamma & mammi’s for Thanksgiving. I plan on glazing it with a simple glaze flavored with rosewater. I cannot wait to make this! I have my bananas ripening on my counter right now:)

PS: Also plan on making the carrot cabbage dish, too, as I am sure I will go crazy shredding the carrots in my food processor:)

Hi Indira,
I made this cake last weekend for a party in a regular 9 inch round cake pan. I followed the recipe but reduced the quantities of the ingredients to half. Mixed the flour with soy milk (no water). The cake came out excellent. Moist, crumbly and tasted as good as it looked. Thanks for this wonderful and healthy recipe. It’s a keeper.

Beautiful gesture, Indira.. I remember you baking a walnut persimmon cake for a friend who had just delivered a child, a few yrs ago. You are a sweetheart!

I love the cute little cakes.. Can’t wait to try them.

Thanks friends for your nice comments. Hope you get a chance to try and enjoy the twin blessings cake.

Shreya: I bought them long ago at a flea market. Try Amazon or Ebay, also kitchen section at local stores. During Christmas season, shops carry baking pans in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Nirmala: To Sevai? Amma is genius! I have to try it. Thank you as always for your lovely comment.

Thanks Ranjan and Gauri.

Mythreyee: So good to see you back. Hope everything is on the mend and you are feeling great.
They make great muffins or cupcakes.

DK: Same pinch then.:)
I can’t wait to read your version and I know for sure, yours will be much better than my plain jane avatars.:)

Madhuram: Peanut oil works great in cake recipes, is almost imperceptible in final product.

Thanks Aparna. So good to see you back at Bhakshanam. Missed you too, my friend.
