Vegan coconut and banana cake
This moist vegan coconut banana bread is an interesting and yummy version, made with coconut products. To make it gluten-free too, use appropriate flour. I had it with my morning coffee but it’s perfect for afternoon tea too. Next time I’ll add some lime zest and juice to offset the sweetness of the coconut.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease or line a loaf tin with paper basket.
- Mix the flour with the baking powder, then add the sugar and shredded coconut.
- In another bowl, mash the bananas, then add the yoghurt milk and oil. Mix well.
- Combine the two mixtures together until you get a thick batter.
- Tip the mixture into the tin, spreading it out evenly.
- Decorate the cake with pecan walnuts, then bake in the middle of the oven for 50 to 60 minutes. After 30 minutes of baking you might need to cover the tin with foil.
- Test the cake with a skewer, if it’s cooked through properly, take it out of the oven.
- Let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
