Ingredients
The Banana Cake:
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3 very ripe bananas mashed
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 4 large eggs lightly whisked
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
The Chocolate Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Banana Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with a little coconut oil and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
- In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the coconut sugar, applesauce, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients, just until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Chocolate Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter with the cocoa powder until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the almond milk, and beat until you reach a spreadable consistency. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Slice and serve!
