Banana cake that is more-or-less a superfood and was invented after a nice rigorous walk in the rain for breakfast which ended up being quite late as far as breakfasts go. It is also basically a cupboard cake.
Also flow-on sentences. Pretty damn good for an invented cake, I reckon.
Ingredients (makes quite a decent sized cake) #
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup of canola oil
- 1 cup of almond milk
- 1/2 cup of loosely packed brown sugar (two tbsp? maybe?)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup coconut powder (super-fine desiccated)
- 2 handfuls mixed nuts
- 3 heaped tsp baking powder
- 2 cups of flour (I used 1 cup of spelt and 1 cup of what I believe was GF self-raising…)
- 3 tsp vanilla essence
- 4 tsp of raw peanut butter (the type with nothing added to it)
- 3 pinches of cinnamon
Method #
- Preheat oven to 200C (fan-forced)
- Start mashing the bananas in a big bowl
- Add oil and sugar and beat with mixer until all combined and smooth
- Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the peanut butter and cinnamon
- Mix with a spoon until all combined
- Put in a cake tin, papered or greased or whatever you prefer
- Spoon the peanut butter into the centre of the top of the cake and then swirl it through to about 1cm of depth in the cake.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon on top of that
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until the skewer trick works.
Enjoy your ‘superfood’.
