Vegan Spiced Banana Cake

• 200g self raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 100g soft brown sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp mixed spice
• 3 ripe bananas
• 90 ml unsweetened almond milk (or choice of plant based milk)
• 75ml rapeseed or light olive oil
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Step 1 – Sift together flour, baking powder, spices into a bowl and then mix in sugar
Step 2 -In a separate bowl, mash bananas and then add in milk, oil and vanilla
Step 3 – Stir wet ingredients into dry – just until it’s all combined
Step 4 – Pour into a greased tin and bake for 30-40 mins @180 (or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean)

To make this into a special occasion cake, make a simple frosting by beating 1/2 cup plant based butter (we love Naturli but the Flora block is fine and widely available), 2 cups icing sugar. 1.5 tsp vanilla and 2 tbsp plant based milk together. Bake cake in 2 sandwich tins and spread icing in between the layers and on top of your cake. Then of course, enjoy!
