Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and toast slowly, watching carefully and stirring constantly until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, about 5 minutes. Chop into coarse pieces.
• Combine butter, brown sugar, flour, white sugar, and cinnamon for streusel in a bowl. Blend using a pastry blender. Stir in almonds gently and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).

• Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and whip until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix bananas into batter on low speed until just blended. Alternate adding flour mixture and yogurt until batter is combined.
• Place 1/4 cup of batter into the prepared cake pan. Layer with 1/2 of the streusel mixture. Add another 1/4 cup of batter and top with remaining streusel. Add remaining batter; pan will be very full, but should not overflow.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer or long spaghetti noodle inserted into the center of the cake comes out very clean, 65 to 75 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the pan onto the rack to remove the cake.
• While cake begins to cool, mix confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until icing is well blended. Poke the top and sides of the cake gently with a fork while still warm. Drizzle icing over cake. Serve warm or allow to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

Let's get the party started Sift the flour,baking soda and salt together and set aside. Cream the butter,sugar and eggs. Add in the pureed bananas,,cardamom powder ,cinnamon powder and saffron strands. Add in the flour and whip up the gooey mixture. Fold in the walnuts and almonds Let's cook them: Stick those pans in the preheated oven and bake them at 350 deg for 30 min. The results: Holy mackerel ! Honest to goodness yummy light and fluffy and airy goodness in squares and circles. Beautiful brown goodness, perfectly baked and crunchy walnuts. The aroma filled the entire kitchen and brought the oldest scooting down to the kitchen.. all the way form the attic. Texture : Very very soft ( possibly the baking powder in the self rising flour combined with the baking soda, did wonders) and porus. Aroma : Fragrant cardamom and hint of cinnamon with saffron emanating creating the wonderful fusion with bananas. Serve it up..the kids devoured it it warm with the cool combination of whipped cream. Yummy! Verdict: Just awesome !.. And like I always believe, great cooking results is mostly achieved by right combination of ingredients and the freshness of your stock.
