Anything with chocolate and bananas has my name written all over it. This cake soo very delicious. I found this recipe from Green Food, Green Thumb & High Heels

  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (or 1 tsp. vanilla)
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. banana puree (about 2 large bananas)
  • 1/2 c. vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/2 c. shredded unsweetened coconut

  • Puree bananas using hand-held emersion blender or stand-up blender. Add a small amount of water if necessary. Set aside.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt and cinnamon in large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl combine Earth Balance spread, banana puree and almond extract. Beat on high until fully combined and lumps disappear.
