EQUIPMENT

Regular Loaf Pan
Cooling Rack
Parchment Paper

INGREDIENTS

3 bananas overripe
320 g sweetened coconut condensed milk
300 g self-rising flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a regular loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher.
Combine with Coconut Condensed Milk: Add the sweetened coconut condensed milk to the mashed bananas. Use a hand whisk to mix well until fully combined.
Incorporate the Flour: Gently fold in the self-rising flour with a silicone spatula until no visible flour remains.
Bake: Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Place the loaf pan on a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, turn the cake out onto the wire rack to cool completely.
Serve: Slice and enjoy your vegan banana cake warm or cold.

NOTES

Use Very Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
Check for Doneness: Start checking the cake at 35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let It Cool Completely: The cake may sink slightly in the middle, which is normal, so let it cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
Additions: For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter before baking.
