Banana Almond Butter Cake:
4 overripe bananas, mashed
1 T of vinegar + almond milk
1 T pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup creamy almond butter
Almond Butter Icing:
2 T coconut oil, solid
1 T raw honey or maple syrup
1 T creamy almond butter
pinch cinnamon
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
1 tsp almond milk
Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8x2 square pan. In a medium
bowl, mash together bananas with milk and vanilla extract. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk
together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat coconut oil
and coconut sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg for 1 minute. Beat in banana mixture
until combined. Stir in dry ingredients in halves until just combined. Gently fold in almond butter
until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until tester
inserted into center comes out clean, with moist crumbs attached. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes
before turning out onto cooling rack to cool completely.
Icing: Whisk together coconut oil, raw honey, almond butter, and cinnamon. Stir in confectioners
sugar in 1/2 cup increments, followed by milk in teaspoon increments. Continue doing so until
icing has reached desired, glossy consistency.
Assembly: Gently spread icing atop completely cooled Banana Almond Butter Cake. Refrigerate
until ready to serve. Keep refrigerated. Cake will keep for 2-3 days.
