HEALTHIER BANANA CAKE WITH YOGURT ICING

Posted On: 2023-09-22 14:23:36

Ingredients:

350 g very spotty bananas

3 eggs room temperature

50g coconut sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

280g almond flour

35g arrowroot starch

1.5 tsp baking powder

0.5 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

0.25 tsp salt

Greek Yogurt Icing:

225 g yogurt

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 tsp lemon juice optional if using Greek yogurt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 160c.

Grease or butter a large baking dish (I used a 7.5 x 10.5"), then line with parchment paper.

Using a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Then add eggs, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Mix until homogenous.

In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute, then add to wet ingredients. Mix until well-combined.

Pour batter into baking dish. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.

While the cake is baking, let the yogurt sit in a strainer for 10-15 minutes. This will make sure the yogurt isn't too watery.

Transfer the thick, strained yogurt to a bowl. Stir in maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place in fridge until ready to frost.

Make sure the cake is completely cooled before frosting - it should not be warm to the touch. Place dollops of yogurt on top of the cake. Spread using an offset spatula or spoon. Sprinkle with more cinnamon, if desired.
