Island Banana Cake

Is a trip to the tropics ever-so-slightly outside of your realistic budget right now? Take a taste-bud trip instead with this super-simple, totally satisfying cake. Manzanos, a type of small banana, can be found in pretty much any supermarket, so don’t be shy!

 

For the frosting:

• 1/4 cup vegan margarine, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons soymilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

What You Do:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 12-inch pan. In a large bowl or electric mixer, beat margarine and sugar until smooth.
2. In another bowl, sift together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pour into the sugar mixture and stir gently. Stir in manzanos, sour cream, prepared egg replacer mixture, and vanilla. Pour into pan and bake 25 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown.
3. In a bowl or electric mixer, blend frosting ingredients until a thick, spreadable consistency is reached. Frost cake completely, and serve.
