Ingredients
Cake:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup ground flax seeds mixed with 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Chocolate swirl:
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Mash up the bananas or process in a food processor until smooth. In a separate bowl mix the ground flax seeds and warm water and let sit for a few minutes until it gels.
- Add remaining ingredients to food processor or mix together in a bowl, make sure to add the gelled flax and water.
- In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil and add the cacao and sweetener until well blended. Turn off the heat.
- Pour the banana mixture into a 5x9 inch loaf pan. Use a silicone spatula to smooth it out evenly. Carefully drizzle the chocolate mixture like in the photo above. Then use a butter knife or skewer to drag up and down to create a design in the cake.
- Put the cake in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. Remember this is a gooey moist cake, since there are no eggs, the center will be a bit gooey while the top will be more crispy.
