There's nothing like a slice of Vegan Banana Cake when craving a sweet treat hits. Banana cake is a classic dessert that is super easy to make. But, more importantly, it is loaded with bananas. We also added a bit of cinnamon and cardamom to enhance the vegan banana cake's flavor.

But why have a slice when you can have a mini vegan banana cake? Instead of using the standard cake or bundt pan, we baked this banana cake in a mini bundt cake. The mini bundt cake pan creates the most beautiful design. The bundt pan also eliminates the need to frost the cake. A light dusting of powdered sugar will suffice, but it is optional.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed Meal

     

  • 3 tablespoons Water

     

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour

     

  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder

     

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

     

  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

     

  • 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom

     

  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt

     

  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar

     

  • 1/3 cup Melted Vegan Butter

     

  • 1 cup Coconut Milk 

     

  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

     

  • 2 Ripe Bananas, mashed

     

  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

     

  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease 2 mini bundt pans with non-stick spray and set them aside.

In a small bowl, add flaxseed meal and water. Set aside for 5 minutes after stirring.

Whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and sea salt in a medium bowl. 

Whisk the granulated sugar, melted vegan butter, coconut milk, lemon juice, bananas, vanilla extract, and flaxseed mixture in a large bowl.

Add the all-purpose flour spice mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. 

Fill the prepared mini bundt pan 3/4 of the way full of banana cake batter. 

Smooth the top of the banana cake with the back of a spoon.

Bake the banana cake for 20-24 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. 

Let the banana cake cook in the pan for 5-8 minutes, then invert them on a wire rack and let them cool completely.

Place the powdered sugar into a small fine-mesh sieve and dust the banana cakes before serving.
