Vegan Banana-Chocolate Chip Cake
"This is my favorite vegan dessert recipe. I got it from "American Vegetarian Cookbook" by Marilyn Diamond. Sometimes I throw health concerns out the window and use corn syrup instead of honey. Live dangerously, right?"

Made my first Vegan cake ever and it was a hit. I gave some of it out for people to try and hubby got mad cause he wanted more for him. I used my own frosting recipe but the cake came out yummy and I like that it calls for no sugar (i didnt have any in the house). Will make this again! -
I made this for a Labour Day BBQ and the only one who turned up their nose was a little boy who I think was tired and hated bananas. This cake is dense, and doesn't really need the chocolate ganache I added on top, but my word, it was tasty. My husband was begging me to make it again, since I don't generally repeat recipes. Then again he has a weakness for chocolate and bananas.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
