Finger millet and Banana cake

Finger millet and Banana cake

Today was my daughter's 8th month birthday and I wanted to bake something for her which she could actually eat and enjoy herself too. If not a lot at least a couple of bites. She loves her bananas and her daily semi solid food is Ragi(Finger millet). I had eaten a lot of Ragi(Finger millet) biscuits and cookies, but cake!? Well well...here we go....
