Ingredients

    1 Cup wholewheat flour
    1/4 Cup oil
    1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
    1 Teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 Cup Chelsea White Sugar
    1/8 Teaspoon salt
    2 Bananas, very ripe, mashed
    1/4 Cup soy milk
    1/4 Teaspoon balsamic vinegar
    1 Tablespoon Chelsea Icing Sugar (for dusting)

    Icing
    1/2 Cup vegan margarine
    2 Cups Chelsea Icing Sugar
    1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
    2 Tablespoons soymilk
    1/3 Cup cocoa powder
    Dash of salt

Method

    Mix soy milk and balsamic vinegar and leave for 5 minutes to curdle.

    Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

    Beat oil and Chelsea White Sugar with a handheld mixer for two minutes. Add the soy milk mixture and beat until just mixed. Add the mashed bananas and beat until smooth.

    Gradually add flour mix, beating in after each addition until mixture is smooth. Do not over beat.

    Line a square pan/casserole dish with parchment paper and brush with oil.

    Pour in the batter and bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a 180 degree Celsius oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

    Cool, before cutting the cake in half, icing both halves and stacking them on top of each other. This gives you a double hit of the icing!

    Icing
    Soften the margarine and cream with Chelsea Icing Sugar. Add the vanilla extract, soymilk, cocoa powder, and salt.

    Mix until the icing is light and fluffy. Decorate your cake!

One of our go to recipes, we make them as muffins and add chocolate chips. Perfect and fluffy every time.

I have made this a few times and it is great - NB i double the recipe to fill a larger cake tin and I get a good rise. The icing is also nice - for a bit of added decadence, last time I split the icing in two and added some coconut cream to the half I used in the middle of the cake which made it really creamy!

Cake was very moist (almost soggy) but tested done with skewer. Barely rose to 3cm tall. No soy milk so used almond milk which didn't seem to curdle. Not sure if this was the reason. Will try again in ring tin and see if that gives a better result.

Lovely moist cake

this cake, despite adding baking powder and baking soda barely rose at all. fresh out of the oven it was about 3-4cms tall. very dissapointed in this recipe and will not be using again.
