Honey Cake
Description
Honey Cake is made by combining mashed bananas with vegan yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, creamed honey, and coconut oil. The wet ingredients mix with brown sugar before being combined with almond flour and all-purpose flour, along with baking soda and salt. The batter is divided into two pans and baked until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once cooled, the cake layers are assembled with coco whip or cream cheese frosting, topped with fresh berries and optionally fresh thyme for garnish.
The cake is moist thanks to the banana and yogurt, with sweetness balanced by the honey and brown sugar. The almond flour adds subtle nuttiness and texture variation. This layered cake suits occasions where a lightly sweet, fruit-infused dessert is desired.
