The rich scent of bananas and the super moist texture in this cake is simply intoxicating! Believe me, the satisfaction of eating a slice of this with a hot cup of tea in the afternoon could revive you instantly. I feel it is a perfect combination of all the best things in one place; melt in the mouth texture, the rich taste, and the sweet banana scent!

These plain vanilla cupcakes are so easy to make and they will stay fresh and moist for days! I have added cornflour into the cake batter to make the cakes extra spongy.  The light, silkiness in cornflour had a magical effect!
