Banana Cake
Makes 9servings
This recipe comes from Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods, makers of natural
foods in the natural way. Soy flour and flaxseed meal can both be ordered
online at www.bobsredmill.com.
You can make your own flaxseed meal by processing flaxseeds in a coffee
or spice grinder. The brown sugar topping for this cake is sticky and
won't spread on the cake evenly. That's OK, just dab it on, and it will
melt into the cake.
1/2 cup soy flour
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
2 teaspoons basking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup soymilk
1/3 cup honey
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 medium bananas, mashed
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Combine soy flour and next 5 ingredients (honey through bananas); mix well. Add to dry ingredients; stir gently. Pour into a greased baking pan. Combine brown sugar, butter and walnuts; stir until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
