Banana Coconut Crumb Cake

At time, you need a lot of push to realize what you are, who you are… With the level of competition in the whole outside world, sometimes even the best effort looks halfhearted when compared to others. I saw this quote a couple of days ago and was aPinwed by it. The Almighty has made us with all imperfections. If we were that perfect, wouldn’t we forget our Creator? Once we realize our imperfections and its beauty, things will come quite easily. This person who is so eloquently tapping on the keyboard and writing such big words is definitely not somebody who is in peace with her imperfections! However, to make myself feel at ease at times when I feel that I am not what I wanted to be, I really look around for affirmations as these. One more thing I really love to do these days is to randomly open the translation of the Quran, and read what I lay my hands on. Seriously, I feel Allah is speaking to me, giving me a response to my current situation! A habit that was instilled into me very recently by a great friend and well-wisher, that I really hold on to… I really suggest all of you to do this – when you feel down and trashed, go to your holy book and randomly open a page, your answer will be there!!! 🙂

Coming on to today’s post, it is the month’s Home Baker’s Challenge. Apart from the cookie challenge, I was able to participate in all and was quite happy with working on it. This time, Shama Nagarajan had suggested a list of sweet and savory bakes. I as usual went for a sweet bake – any surprise??? 😉 – and baked this cake during the weekend. Three things attracted me to try this recipe – bananas, coconut and almonds!!! The result was a really crumbly, soft cake which was an absolute treat! Warning: If you do make this, I would advise adults not to be over confident and use a plate or a napkin while eating the cake – it’s that crumbly!!! 🙂 We had guests over that day and it just got cleaned apart from two small pieces… How much I was expecting to have my big slice? 🙁
