Vegan Banana Cake
This Vegan Banana Cake is ultra-moist with mashed bananas and warm cinnamon, topped with dairy-free cream cheese frosting and vegan caramel and flaky sea salt for a sweet, salty finish.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3-4 ripe bananas about 1 ½ cups mashed
- ½ cup dairy-free milk
- ½ cup neutral oil
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Frosting
- 4 oz vegan cream cheese
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Toppings
- homemade vegan caramel Use recipe on my site, or use store-bought!
- flaky salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
- Combine the bananas with the wet and dry ingredients and mix well.
- Transfer the batter to a parchment-lined, greased baking dish (I used a 9x9 inch one).
- Bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the top of the cake is golden-brown.
- While the cake is cooling, whisk together the frosting ingredients. Make sure the cake has fully cooled before frosting.
- Add the frosting on the cake, then top with vegan caramel and flaky salt. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure bananas are very ripe (lots of brown spots!) for the best sweetness.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting so the frosting doesn’t melt.
- Use a parchment-lined pan to avoid sticking and help with clean-up.
