Enjoy this fluffy and delicate Almond Butter Banana Cake by Sarah & Spices (@sarahandspices)
Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 tsp teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 4 medium bananas
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/3 cup JEM Organics Cinnamon Maca Almond Butter
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Almond Butter Frosting:
- 1 cup non-dairy butter
- 4 cups confectioners sugar
- 1/3 cup JEM Organics Naked Almond Butter
- 2 Tablespoons non-dairy milk
- ½ Tablespoon cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C and line (or lightly grease) an 8×8 square pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift the dry ingredients. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mash the bananas. Add in the remaining wet ingredients and mix. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine. If the batter looks a little dry, you may need to add an extra 1-2 Tablespoons of non-dairy milk.
- Pour the batter into the 8" cake pans and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
- While the cakes are baking, make the frosting. Cream the butter. Then, sift in the powdered sugar. Add the rest of the frosting ingredients and combine. Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to frost the cakes.
- Once the cakes are cool, remove them from the pans and frost. Slice to serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes:
- This recipe makes one layer of banana cake and plenty of frosting to frost and decorate it. If you would like a layer cake, double the recipe.
