Recipe- Healthy Yet Yummy Millets Banana Cake

This is one of the most innovative and healthful yet yummy tasty recipes. This cake is made of foxtail millet flour and banana, both of that are healthful ingredients. Millets are extremely healthful compared to Maida or wheat flour. I started eating millets as they are good for health. I experiment with many dishes based on millets and tried to bake a cake using millets rather than all-purpose flour(maida). It turned out to be rather tasty. In addition, this cake is not sticky in the mouth. Very soft and spongy cake. My whole family likes this healthy millets cake. This is my original recipe.
