Coconut Banana Breakfast (or dessert) Cake - Vegan

In my venture to make a dent in the pile of bananas in my freezer, I have taken an interest in all things banana- my least favorite fruit. 

That being said, I do LOVE me some banana bread- added to the list of banana-loves is this coconut banana cake!  I also love how it is a ‘breakfast’ cake.  Kind of in the same crowd as pancakes – Why exactly are they suitable for breakfast?  Wait. Don’t answer that.  I don’t care.  It all works for me and my taste buds!

So here we go.  Here’s What You Need:  

1 c white flour

½ tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 flax eggs (2 Tbl flax seed +6 Tbl water) (or you can use eggs if you’re not vegan)

1/3 cup sugar (white or brown- whatever you have on hand- I usually use white)

2 tea vanilla extract – or coconut extract if you have it!

1 cup mashed banana (two small bananas)

½ cup coconut milk

The Fun Part:

-          Combine all dry ingredients

-          Combine all wet ingredients

-          Grease/four an 8x8 pan (or you can use a loaf pan, I’m just kind of obsessed with 8x8- but a loaf pan would make this thicker)

-          Pour batter into pan

-          Cook at 350 for 25 minutes (or if using loaf pan do 35)

For the topping I used

-          2 cups powdered sugar

-          2 tbl coconut milk

-          ½ cup shreaded coconut

Mix ingredients together, pour over cake once it’s out of the oven!

Yumm! Enjoy your yummies J
