Preparation:
​
-
Preheat oven to 180oc and grease a medium Bundt cake tin.
-
Add flour, sugar, tapioca, cinnamon, mixed spice, walnuts and dates.
-
Add the bananas, aquafaba, vanilla, oil, vinegar and chia then blend until smooth, light and fluffy.
-
Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir to combine.
-
Spoon the mix into the Bundt pan and bake for approx. 25-30 minutes or until it springs back when gently pressed or a skewer comes out dry when inserted in the centre.
-
Allow to cool for 10 minutes then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Peanut Butter Frosting:
Preparation:
-
Add the peanut butter, coconut oil and maple syrup to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
-
Add the frosting and blend until thick and creamy.
-
Alternatively you can turn the peanut butter mixture into a bowl and add the icing mixture then whisk through to create thick frosting.
-
Thin with 1 tbs at a time if too thick.
NOTES & TIPS:
-
Coconut sugar is now available in most supermarkets in the sugar section.
-
Turbinado or brown sugar would be fine if you don't have coconut sugar.
-
The finer you can get the coconut sugar for the frosting the smoother & fluffier your frosting will be.
