Happy Birthday to me!
Monday is my birthday and every year someone wants to make me a cake. I get the “you can’t make a cake for yourself on your birthday!” schpeal from my friends and family. Well I assure you I can and it makes me happy because I know I can eat it and not feel deathly ill the next day. So for all you vegans out there, by choice or by force, this cake is for you! Luckily, two very special people in my life made it for me 
Enjoy
Ingredients:
2 medium ripe organic fair trade bananas
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4c. canola oil
1 cup soy, rice or almond milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 tbs hot water
1 tbs. flaxseed mill
Dry:
2 c. organic whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup organic fair trade cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl mix the soy milk and vinegar, set aside to thicken. Whisk together the hot water and flaxseed mill, set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the banana and beat together with the sugar, vanilla and oil until smooth. Add the thickened soy milk and flaxseed mill, beat until smooth.
Sift the dry ingredients into the batter and gently stir until they are combine. DO NOT OVER MIX.
Grease two 9″ round pans or one 13×9″ baking dish with canola oil. Evenly pour the batter into the pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
Finishing touches:
1 cup 100% real fruit jam
1/4 cup organic fair trade cocoa powder
3 cups Lover’s Combo (contains honey) or Date Food Granola
After the cake has cooled, heat the jam until it becomes liquidized. Beat in the cocoa powder until smooth, glaze the cake immediately. Coat the sides in granola and enjoy!
This sounds amazing! I wish I could bake because I would be making this.
It was! Evan surprised me with it. He read my post in the AM. Bought the ingredients in the market that day and made it for me in the evening… so cute!
