Coconut Banana Cake with Cream Cheeze IcingIngredients (use vegan versions): 4 small very ripe bananas
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup coconut or canola oil
1 1/3 cups coconut milk and/or soymilk
1 cup shredded coconut
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup flax seeds
1 cup sweet apricot kernels
Cream Cheeze Icing:
1 - 8 ounce container vegan cream cheese
juice of half a lemon
generous pour of maple syrup
Directions:1) Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Farenheight.
2) Mash the bananas and mix with the sugar, vanilla, oil, milks, and coconut. Set it aside to rehydrate the coconut a little. In another bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder, flax seeds and apricot kernels together. Add the wet to the dry and mix.
3) Pour the batter into 2 prepared round cake pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until done in the center.
4) For the icing, mix all the ingredients together and beat vigorously with a fork until its smooth and looks like pourable delicious icing. Pour a little on one cake once it has cooled to room temperature. Place the other cake on top and cover the whole thing in icing, letting it drip off the sides. I also added fresh sliced banana and toasted coconut flakes on top of the icing to make it pretty and that much more delicious! Enjoy!
