INGREDIENTS

* 2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 2 cup jaggery
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 cup milk
* 2 eggs lightly beaten
* 2 mashed bananas
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 1 cup crunchy peanut butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 160 deg C.

2. Coat a pan with butter to grease it.

3. Mix flour, jaggery, peanut butter, melted butter with a wide spatula in a bowl till it becomes a crumbly mixture. Reserve one cup of mixture for later use.

4. Make a small well right in the middle of the mixture and add milk, eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla, baking Powder and baking soda.

5. Mix all the ingredients well into a batter.

6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and top it with the reserved crumble mixture.

7. Bake the cake for about 40-45 minutes and ensure that the top mixture (crumble layer) does not get burnt.

8. Check if the cake is ready by inserting a toothpick after 40 minutes. If it comes out clean, it’s ready to be taken out of the oven.

9. Place on a wire rack to cool and then remove the cake from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
