Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.75 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with a little coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In another mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzling with a simple vegan chocolate glaze, if desired.
