Ingredients of this Eggless Banana Coconut Cake

This eggless banana coconut cake uses Greek yogurt instead of eggs which is a great alternative and one of the most common ingredient used as a substitute for eggs.

Wondering about more egg substitutes? There is an entire blog post dedicated to that and I know it will give you a better understanding of the entire thing!

Tips to keep in mind while using Greek Yogurt as a substitute for Egg

If you are cooking with Yogurt, make sure it really is greek yogurt and not curd and it should also be plain and not flavoured. There are a plethora of flavoured yogurts available in the market now but they will obviously end up giving your cake a different flavour.
Do not overdo mixing the yogurt. Stirring it vigorously can cause the yogurt to break down. Instead, use the blessing- silicone spatula- to fold the yogurt with the other ingredients in a gentle manner.
It is a common fact that yogurt and aluminium don’t go well together because of the acidic nature of yogurt. It’s best to line your tin with a parchment paper and not use foil to line your tin either.

Using Bananas in Desserts in the right manner

Bananas are increasingly becoming the centre star of the fruit kingdom when it comes to baking., I have also ended up falling in love with this beautiful fruit and it’s versatility. A lot of banana recipes are there on the website now- from triple chocolate banana bread, eggless banana upside down cake, triple chocolate banana bread, gluten free banana bread, to this eggless banana coconut cake.

But, it also becomes important to do the fruit proper justice so it cane reap the exact results you want in your cake. Follow the following tips to get it right.

Dark and ‘ugly’ bananas are the best for baking. Bananas with dark spots are good, black bananas are even better. Do not use green bananas. They will spoil you dessert because of their inability to be mashed and mixed properly.
If you want to speed up the the ripening, keep the bananas in room temperature, out of their bags. And for more speed, throw them in a thin paper bag and keep them in a dry and warm spot.
