I am on cloud nine now with this whole wheat banana cake. Well, you remember my strawberry brownie cribbing, can you imagine my kids and neighbor's kids loved it, well it got over now.

How To Make Flax Egg?

It is very easy to make a flax egg. Mix 1 tbsp flaxseed powder in 3 tbsp water and keep it for 5 minutes undisturbed. It will thicken after 5 minutes. This whole mix is the replacement of 1 whole egg. So if a recipe calls for 2 eggs then simply double it.

You can make this vegan banana cake super quick without needing any fancy equipment. Banana and walnut is a match made in heaven and this cake is a proof for the same. You can eliminate cinnamon as per liking but I would recommend you to use. I used coconut cream for the frosting to make a vegan version but you can experiment with cream cheese or chocolate ganache for the non-vegan version. This eggless banana cake will go perfectly with these frostings too.

Vegan Banana Walnut Cake | Whole Wheat Banana Cake

Ingredient                                                                      18-20 pieces

1cup+¾ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup+1 tablespoon olive oil
1 Cup coconut sugar (¾ cup refined sugar)
2 Flax egg
3 Overripe banana (1 Cup mashed banana)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 Pinch of salt
¼ Cup roasted walnut chopped finely
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Coconut Frosting
1 Cup coconut cream
2 Tblsp maple syrup
½ Cup caster sugar
Roasted walnuts to sprinkle

Method

1. First of all, prepare the flax egg. Add 2 tablespoon flaxseed powder in 6 tablespoon water and keep aside for 5 minutes undisturbed. Meanwhile, prepare for the batter.
2. In a mixing bowl add whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder. Sift 2-3 times so that flour becomes airy and combines with every ingredient very well.
3. Furthermore, prepare walnuts and preheating oven. Add roasted walnut in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour and toss it. Doing so walnuts will not sink in the batter.
4. Preheat the oven at 350 F or 180C for 5 minutes. Grease a baking sheet pan and keep it ready. I used 7x11 inch pan.
5. Take another mixing bowl and add olive oil, coconut sugar, flax egg, and banana puree. Whisk nicely and should be a consistent mixture.
6. Finally, mix dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Do not mix all flour in one go, add one part and combine well, and so on till all dry flour gets over.
7. Pour the batter in the greased pan and bake for 30 minutes. At 25 minutes completion do check with the toothpick if it comes out clean.
8. After the baking done, let the eggless banana sheet cake cools down to room temperature completely. I left it overnight before frosting.
9. Take the chilled coconut cream in a bowl, use the thick part, discard the liquid part. Add sugar and maple syrup. Beat with the electric mixer till sugar dissolve. It will not be like normal whipped cream. It has a soft peak.
10. Spread it over the sheet cake and sprinkle some chopped walnuts. Best banana walnut cake or Vegan banana walnut cake is ready to serve.

Note

1. Replace whole wheat flour with refined flour. The texture will be different and cake will come out fluffy and light.
2. Use normal refined sugar in place of coconut sugar, if required.
3. Instead of a flax egg, you can also use eggs for the same recipe.
4. For frosting use chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting if required. I needed a vegan version which is why coconut cream is used.
