Vegan Banana Bundt® Cake

By

Updated and tweaked, this fragrant cake is moist but not heavy. Not unlike a pound cake. But there's no butter or eggs in sight. I'm thinking it will be tasty for breakfast. If it was summer, I'd serve it with sliced strawberries.

Ingredients

  • Wet Ingredients:
  • 3 medium very ripe bananas, cut up and mashed into puree
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup extra light olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons raw agave or maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups organic light brown sugar
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend (I used: 1 1/4 cup sorghum flour + 1/2 cup buckwheat flour + 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt* (if your flour blend has no salt)
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum* (if your flour blend has no xanthan or guar gum added)
  • Add in last:
  • Egg Replacer for 2 large eggs (I used Ener-G Egg Replacer made with warm vanilla rice milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a Bundt® cake pan by rubbing a little oil in it.


Place the banana puree into a bowl. Add the applesauce, vanilla, olive oil, agave, and light brown sugar. Beat well.


In a separate large bowl, measure and combine your dry ingredients (I use a whisk to do this).


Add the wet ingredients into the dry mix, and beat for two minutes.


Make and froth your Egg Replacer; add it to the batter and beat to combine.


Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and bake in the center of a preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until done. Check the center for doneness with a wooden pick. The cake should be firm, and may appear slightly golden brown at the edge, yet still be moist inside.


Cool the cake on a wire rack before releasing it from the pan (by placing a serving plate on top of the cake pan and turning it upside down onto a plate).


My Bundt® pan is non-stick, so my cake slid right out- but if your pan is not non-stick, be sure the edges of the cake are loosened from the sides before you invert the pan.


Yields 12 to 15 slices. Freeze extra slices.
