About this recipe
- Easy cake recipe
- Egg-free, dairy-free, vegan cake
- Only 7 ingredients
- Baking time is 35 minutes
📋 Ingredients
Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).
- Bananas: Please use riped bananas.
- Flour: All-purpose flour or cake flour. If you like gluten-free cake, you can substitute it with rice flour.
- Baking Powder: I use aluminum-free baking powder.
- Oil: I usually use taihaku sesame oil (no smell and no color) for baking desserts but you can use other oil that doesn't have a strong smell or taste.
- Soy Milk: I use plain soy milk (no flavor and no sugar). You can substitute it with other milk such as almond milk or oats milk.
- Maple Syrup
- Salt
🔪Instructions
Let me walk you through how to make it step by step. You can also watch this video.
First of all, preheat oven at 180C/356F.
- Cut bananas into 1cm thickness for topping (we use 9 slices).
- Mash the rest of the bananas in a large bowl.
- Mash bananas until it looks like the picture.
- Add wet ingredients (soy milk, oil, maple syrup, and salt).
- Add dry ingredients (flour and baking powder).
- Stir gently (If you stir too much, the cake will be firm, not fluffy).
- Pour the dough into a cake pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes at 180C/356F.
Here you go! Please put it on a cooling rack and let the cake cool down for some time. Then cut into pieces of your choice, and enjoy!
I use the cake pan with separated bottom, so it's easy to take the cake out. If you don't have it, place parchment paper inside your pan.
Storage
You can store these at room temperature for 3 days and in the refrigerator for 5 days.
If you don't eat them right away, wrap each piece with plastic wrap and keep them in the freezer for a month.
