How To Make Vegan Banana Cake - Step by Step
Ok then, I'm gonna walk you through the steps. Firstly preheat an oven to 180 C.
- Cut banana >> Cut banana into 1cm thickness for and put them aside. we use 9 slices for toppings
- Mash banana >> Put the rest of banana in a mixing bowl and mash
- Mash like this >> Roughly 80% is mashed
- Add liquids >> Add soy milk, oil, maple syrup and salt in the bowl and mix with a whisk
- Add flour and shift >> Place a strainer on the bowl, add flour and baking power then shift
- Roughly stir >> Roughly stir with a spatula (If you stir too much, the finish will be firm not fluffy)
- Pour the dough >> Pour the dough into a 18cm spare cake pan
- Place banana slices and Bake >> Make the surface flat and place banana slices. Bake in preheated 180 C oven for 35 mins.
I use the cake pan that the bottom is separated but you can use any baking pan. In that case, it's better to place parchment paper on or grease some oil inside the dish to pull out the cake.
Here you go!
Place it on a cooling rack and let the cake cool down for sometime. Then pull it out and cut into pieces you like.
It will be easy to eat if split it into 9 pieces for adults and 16 pieces for children.
Storage
You can store at room temperature for 2 days and in the refrigerator for 4 days.
If you don't eat them right away, wrap each piece with plastic wrap and keep them in the freezer for a month.
