Jaggery and Cardamon Banana Cake
To make this cake divine, use bananas that are very ripe – the ones that have brown flecks on the peel. Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid that helps your body produce serotonin, a natural substance that has a calming effect on the brain and can act as a gentle sedative. I used dark jaggery and used a fine grater to grate it. Go on try baking this cake.
