Banana Cake

"Healthiest banana cake ever! Great for breakfast, or just for a healthy treat that feels sinful! This recipe comes from the PCRM web site. I use blueberries when I can get them, but raisins will do in a pinch."

  1. I made this cake with raisins. Although the taste was quite good, I was not very satisfied with the texture, which was a bit dry and heavy.
     
  2. Liked this. I made this for my niece who suffers from dairy, egg and other allergies and I used raisins in this. The only change I made was to omit the vanilla, since niece is also allergic to that and to cook it in a loaf tin instead of as two cakes. I increased the cooking time a little until a toothpick came out dry. It was still a moist cake and it went down well enough but several people said they found it to be a little sweet, and one said it was too banana-ry (Duh, it's a banana cake, so discount their opinion!) I must say that banana cake is not often seen here and it was a first for my Dutch family, so maybe their so-so response to this is more due to it being a new taste than anything else. I would certainly make it again. Please see my rating system: a lovely 3 stars for a vegan recipe that I hope can help niece to not miss out when cake is on the table. Thanks!
     
  3. I really liked this recipe. I added sliced bananas to the bottom of the pan like other recipes for banana cake. I liked the fact that it was a hearty cake that was very filling, but good for you at the same time! I served it with banana pudding on the side and my guests loved it.
     
  4. This cake was excellent! I eft out the walnuts and just added in a pinch more chocolate chips. Also I just used three regualr bananas instead of four organic ones. The cake was soo moist and delicious.
     
  5. I liked this recipe but more importantly my husband LOVED it. I add two scoops of protien powder to it and made it in muffin tins. I froze them and we take them out and pop it into the microwave as we need them. They make a great fast breakfast. Enjoy!!

I live in Canada, and I work in the restaurant industry (not a chef!). Don't have a favorite cookbook, but I love these internet sites, (especially this one, where you can get the dietary info - that's cool). I'm pretty passionate about animals, and about my health, (regardless of what my beer and cigarette habit might say about me!). The majority of food I like to eat is vegetarian, if not, vegan. I am able to enjoy a good steak every now and again, however. As long as I don't have to cook it. (I hate cooking meat - makes such a mess...) I have recently had a month off - I took the time to backpack around Mexico by myself. Crazy? Nah. Well, maybe...
