Hi Indira, I tried this cake today. It was THE most delicious cake I have ever had that is eggless. I subsituted eggs with apple sauce (thats what I had) and orange juice with apple juice. Also I used Whole wheat flour. Still it turned really delicious. hats off to you.

Hi Indira, I tried the cake today but substituted 2 ripe bananas. Rest of the measurements were same. The cake turned out nice firm (the way i like) but fluffy and moist. The taste of the melting chocolate chips was yummy. Thank you so much for the recipe.

Thanks all for your comments.

About the square mini cake pan: It was from Wal-mart.

N: Ripe banana is a good binding agent and convenient substitute to eggs. The difference is mainly to make it vegan friendly, for me to avoid the egg smell.

Vani: For 2 cups flour, a cup of ripe, mashed banana would be enough, means usually a medium-sized ripe banana.

Padmaja: Rathi’s suggestions are good. Another way I bake this cake sometimes is – melt half the quantity of chocolate chips in a microwave, cool little bit and add them to cake batter. The baked cake will have that brown chocolate color.

Rathi: thanks for the suggestions.

Archana G and Sudha Ramachandran: Good to read that you tried this recipe. Thanks for letting me know.

Indira, I baked this cake last weekend for my kids. I prefer eggfree cake recipes, so went with ripe banana, and also added ghee. The cake tasted very good, moist and soft. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
