FAQ
If there is too much flour and less liquid it will turn up dry.
How do you know if banana cake is undercooked?
Insert a toothpick once baking is done to check if there is some batter sticking to it. If yes, it needs at least 5 more minutes of baking. Recheck again once done.
Press the centre to see if it springs back. If your fingers leave an indent, it still needs more time in the oven.
