Ingredients
- FOR THE DRY INGREDIENTS:
- 1-½ cup All-purpose Gluten-free Flour
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoons Pure Stevia Extract Powder (“Now” Brand)
- 3 Tablespoons Chopped Chocolate Chunks Or Chips (vegan If Desired)
- FOR THE WET INGREDIENTS:
- 1-½ teaspoon Ener-G Egg Replacer
- 3 teaspoons Water
- 2 Ripe Bananas (approximate 7” Long)
- ⅓ cups Canola Oil
- ½ Tablespoons Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cups Non-dairy Milk (I Used Silk Original Soy Milk)
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1 cup Chilled Coconut Cream
- ½ Tablespoons Agave Nectar
- ⅛ teaspoons Pure Stevia Extract Powder (“Now” Brand)
- ¼ cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Preparation
You will also need an 8” square metal baking pan, a food processor or blender, measuring cups and spoons, rubber spatula and mixing bowls.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the baking pan with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients except the chopped chocolate chunks. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, mix together the egg replacer and water. Set aside for 5 minutes. Blend together the rest of wet ingredients in a blender until smooth. Mix wet ingredients and egg replacer-water mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the chopped chocolate chunks.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Place the baking pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 28 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Let the cake totally cool in the pan before garnishing.
While the cake is cooling, mix all frosting ingredients together until smooth. If the coconut cream is runny, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before applying on top of the cake. Pour the frosting on top of the cake and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chunks.
