A trip to the tropics may be ever-so-slightly outside of your realistic budget, but that doesn’t mean your taste buds can’t experience some island flavor. Thanks to manzanos, a type of small banana that can be found in pretty much any supermarket, this super-simple cake is totally satisfying.
What you need:
For the cake:
1/2 cup vegan margarine, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 cups cake flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup ripe manzanos bananas, mashed
1/4 cup vegan sour cream
1 tablespoon egg replacer, mixed with 4 tablespoons warm water
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the frosting:
1/4 cup vegan margarine, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons soymilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
What you do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x12-inch pan. For the cake, in a large bowl or electric mixer, beat margarine and sugar until smooth.
- In another bowl, sift together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pour into sugar mixture and stir gently. Stir in bananas, sour cream, egg-replacer mixture, and vanilla. Pour into pan and bake 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the frosting, in a bowl or electric mixer, blend frosting ingredients until a thick, spreadable consistency is reached. Frost cake completely and serve.
