Banana Chocolate Chip Cake
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups unbleached flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup cane sugar or turbinado sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- ¾ cup soy milk
- 2 bananas, overripe, mashed
- ½ cup safflower oil or any light vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch square or round pan with Pam or other baking spray.
- Put dry ingredients into a bowl. Blend with a fork. Add oil, soy milk and vanilla. Stir until the mixture comes together, but don’t overmix.
- Break bananas into chunks and drop into the batter, mash with a fork and mix briefly. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake on center rack for 35–40 minutes, just until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Remove from oven, place on wire rack to cool. To serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Also good with crushed pineapple or berries.
From the margins
- If you like a smoother banana texture, break bananas into a separate bowl, mash and mix well until smooth, then fold into the batter.
- Overmixing your batter will create a more dense cake with a tougher crumb. Cakes should be gently mixed until dry ingredients are incorporated, unless specified otherwise.
