    Tips For Making Banana Cakes

    Use Ripe Bananas

    The riper the bananas are, the better the taste of the cake will be. I personally love to have a strong banana flavour inside my banana cakes.

    Ripe bananas also work as a very good vegan egg replacer which will give your loaf cakes an amazing, soft texture.

    Make This Cake Nut-Free

    A great alternative for nut butter is sunflower seed butter as it has a similar texture. This could be because you have an allergy or you simply may not like peanut butter.

    Don't Over-Mix The Batter

    We want our banana cakes to have the lightest texture possible. Over-mixing your cake batter will increase the chances of them to have a denser crumb.

    Can I Freeze This Eggless Banana Cake?

    Yes you certainly can! Slice the peanut butter banana cakes and place them into airtight, freezer-friendly containers or ziplock bags.

    You can store the cake in your freezer for up to 3 months. You can stop the cakes from sticking together by placing a sheet of parchment paper between each slice.

    How To Store Vegan Banana Cake

    For short term storage, place this banana cake inside an airtight container and leave at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Alternatively, you can store in the fridge for up to 4 days (also in an airtight container).

    Description

    This simple vegan peanut butter banana cake is one of the fluffiest cakes you'll try. The flavours compliment each other so well. 


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    For the banana cake batter:

    • 200ml soy milk
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • 2 large, very ripe bananas (mashed)
    • 200g all-purpose flour (sifted)
    • 150g granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 50ml canola oil (rapeseed)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    For peanut butter glaze:

    • 160g powdered sugar (sifted)
    • 2 Tablespoons soy milk
    • 20g peanut butter (melted)

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat the oven to 177 Celsius (350F).
    2. Grease two 20cm x 10cm loaf cake tins with vegan butter. Set aside.

    Make the cake:

    1. Make vegan buttermilk by mixing the apple cider vinegar into the soy milk. Set aside for 7-8 minutes so that it can curdle. While you wait weight out your other cake ingredients.
    2. To a large bowl, add the ripe bananas, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Mix well.
    3. Next, add the curdled soy milk, canola oil and vanilla extract. Fold the banana cake batter until it is smooth but don’t over-mix.
    4. Pour your cake batter equally into the prepared cake tins and bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 25 minutes. A skewer will come out clean when they’re done.
    5. Let the cake loaves cool in their tins for 15 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool fully.

    Make the glaze:

    1. To a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and the soy milk. Mix well.
    2. Next, pour in your melted peanut butter and stir again.
    3. Spoon the peanut butter glaze over the cooled banana cakes.
