What is special about this egg less banana Cake is that it took no added oil in preparation. Not to mention, it is vegan like all my recipes.
For most of us, Cakes are too good to pass but also comes with a load of guilt. This Irresistible Banana Cake recipe, I hope is going to change your opinion or at least reduce your guilt. What is special about this recipe is that it took no added oil in preparation. Not to mention, it is vegan like all my recipes.
So you are looking at a cake with no all-purpose flour, no cholesterol and best of all, no added oil. Zero animal cruelty. Zero Cholesterol. Zero compromises in taste.
There is absolutely no compromise in taste and my family can vouch for that. That's because there is a healthy alternative for Oil, butter, and all-purpose flour. The fats in coconut milk together will a little bit of applesauce, take care of all the work in binding the cake together. I have tried this trick in almond butter muffins as well.
You have to try it to believe the decadent nature of this recipe. Check out my video and photos for visual inspiration 🙂

This was very good. I only used 1 round cake pan for the recipe listed and it worked out fine. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding probably 1/3 cup of vegan mini chocolate chips to the batter at the end. The baked consistency is like banana bread. Thank you for the recipe
Uma Srinivas
Good to hear from you, Jen. Thank you

Looks delish. If I use AP flour do I need to adjust quantity or use the same as wheat flour? Thx
Uma Srinivas
Hi Lucie, You need to add more to adjust the consistency. May be 1/4 cup more. Thank you.
Happy baking.

Hi. I just tried your cake recipe and sad to say after 40 min in oven it tested done, but the inside was gummy. I've got it back in oven hoping it will continue to bake. I had to sub coconut milk for almond milk as my husband can't have coconut. Could that be the issue? Your cake does look irrestible and I was hoping for a treat for him since oils are out as well of his diet.
Uma Srinivas
Since Almond milk is slightly more watery than coconut milk, it is probably because of that. It's my guess that it could be because fat content in coconut milk is not the same as that of almond milk.
Barbara
What coconut milk did you use? I'm always confused because sometimes it is thick from a can or thin from a cardboard carton. Sometimes seeetened, too.
Uma Srinivas
Hi Barbara. Sorry that you got confused. I always use canned coconut milk. Use unsweetened canned coconut milk.
