The real reason for making this EGGLESS PAPAYA BANANA CAKE was to eat papaya without knowing I am eating one 😛 . This cake does not taste like papaya at all. Which is the best part for me 🙂
Most people don’t like papaya. I think it’s the only fruit I don’t like. But the list of health benefits papaya has is never ending. It is rich in vitamin A and C, therefore, it’s good for your immune system. Papaya’s high fibre content not only promotes good digestive health but also lowers cholesterol level.
Fun fact about papaya, Christopher Columbus called it “the fruit of angels” because of it is so sweet and silky 😀 . I know, people who hate papaya will not buy this 😛 . But I assure you this cake tastes more like banana cake /bread. So, you can get all the goodness of papaya without realizing you are eating it 😛
This is a very easy recipe with simple ingredients mainly whole wheat flour, papaya and banana puree. Also, I made glace icing for this cake and trust me it took me 5 minutes to make this glace. I loved how this cake looked (considering I am not an expert in baking / icing 😛 ).
