Vegan I Gluten Free
Serves: 10 - 12 small cakes or 1 large cake
Time: 45 minutes
3 large bananas, mashed
1 cup coconut flour
1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1 tbsp. coconut sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups coconut milk
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1/2 tsp. vinegar
Cashew Cream Icing
1 cup cashews
1 tbsp. coconut oil
2 tbsp. maple syrup or honey
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water, + more as needed 1 tbsp. at a time
Chocolate Drizzle
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup cacao powder
2 tbsp. maple syrup or honey
Place the cashews for the filling in a heat proof bowl. Cover with boiling water and let soak, covered for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 150C / 300F and prepare your rose silicone mold, rubbing the inside with a little coconut oil. Alternatively you can use muffin or cake pans.
Peel the bananas and add them to a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash them. When you have a mostly smooth mixture, add the flours, coconut sugar, spices, and salt to the bowl. Use a spatula to mix well.
Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. You are looking for a cake bater (slightly dryer) consistency.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until golden browned. Remove the cakes from the oven and let rest in the pan 10 - 15 minutes, until slightly cooled.
To make the cashew cream icing - drain the cashews and add them to a food processor or blender. Add the remaining ingredients and mix on medium-high speed until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water 1 tbsp. at a time. Set aside.
Use a spatula to spread the frosting on the tops of the roses.
Sprinkle with cinnamon. Drizzle with the chocolate mixture, maple syrup or honey.
To make the chocolate drizzle - add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Place in the fridge 5 - 10 minutes to thicken slightly, then remove and stir again. Continue the cooling/stirring process until your desired consistency is reached for a chocolate drizzle or spread.
Serve and enjoy! Store 1 - 2 days in the fridge.
