This recipe is for you if you want to indulge with a vanilla chocolate cake, GF, vegan, super moist and refined sugar free. Also great with kids as they’ll love its look and taste 🙂

Recipe below for 1 loaf.

INGREDIENTS

Base:

• GF flour blend: 160 grs white rice flour + 50 grs tapioca starch + 35 grs coconut flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 360 grs super ripe bananas 
• 115 ml full fat coconut milk
• 75 ml maple syrup
• 15 grs coconut oil (liquid)
• 1,5 tsp pure vanilla extract  
• 3 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

Chocolate layer:

• 40 grs cocoa powder
• 25 grs coconut sugar
• 80 ml full fat coconut milk
• 15 grs coconut oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare the base, but mixing all the dry ingredients together in one bowl and all the wet ones in another one (use your blender to get the banana pureed).
2. Mix dry and wet until perfectly combined
3. Weight the batter and take 1/3 away to which you will add the chocolate layer ingredients
4. Preheat your oven at 195°C fan forced, and prepare your tin loaf lined with parchment paper.
5. Gently pour both batter in your mould starting with the vanilla one and alternating with the chocolate until you finish both batters.
6. Bake for 45 min (check with a tooth pick, which should come out clean).
7. Enjoy once it has cooled down, and keep for a few days (I find it will get a bit drier after 3 days, so if you are not going to eat it quickly, slice and freeze it:) You can keep in the freeze for 2 months.

Took me quite sometime to post this recipe … Sorry for those who have been asking me, I haven’t been so good with the blog maintenance lately. But here it is ! the recipe for a super nice vegan loaf cake that reminds me of the “not so nutritionally nice” but yummy “savane” cake I ate as a kid. In this one, the use of banana gives it a nice moist texture and sweetens it lightly in addition to maple syrup. Even if you don’t like banana, give it a try as it does not overwhelm the flavor and this cake should definitely become one of your kids favorite once you have baked it for them (Rose definitely adores it). Yet it is GF, vegan and refined sugar free !!

Actually they can bake it themselves and have fun playing with the different layers of chocolate and vanilla flavors 🙂
