What you need:
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Oil - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Dried fruits and nuts - 1 cup (I used almond,cashew,raisins,and candied fruits)
Milk - 1.5 cups
Overripe bananas - 2
Cocoa powder - 3 heaped tsps
Cinnamon powder - 1/4 tsp
Baking powder - 1/4 tsp
Chopped walnuts - a handful
Soak the dry fruits and nuts in hot milk for 30 minutes. Grind this in a blender till smooth. Add the bananas, oil and sugar and blend again.
Transfer this mixture to a large bowl. Add baking powder and cocoa. Mix well. Add the flour little by little and beat until well mixed. Mix in the chopped walnuts.
Pour this into a greased microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 6 minutes. Timing will vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. So keep checking to make sure it doesn't get burned.
Let it rest for a minute in the microwave. Let it cool completely. Ease it out of the bowl, slice and dig in!!!

The cake looks very yummy and simple .Shall try it soon.
Jayashree, I made this just now - the batter tasted better than the final outcome but that was good too - it was more puddingy than cakey. And I had the curious sensation that the sugar had settled in one layer (upper or lower) because only a part of the cake tasted sweet. In any case, it was only mildly sweet. And nowhere as good looking as that hunk you've got there! Guess I should have used the electric mixer to beat it, was too lazy to wash it and set it up at 11 in the night! Used an ordinary ladle, not even a fork. Thanks for the recipe!
Just what I was looking for. I must remember to write back to you once I finish trying this:)
