Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over two sides. 
  • Place the bananas in a bowl and mas thoroughly with a fork. Mix in the sugars and the oil. Stir well. 
  • Add the gluten free flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the non-dairy milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir well. 
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 28-34 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. 
  • Cream the vegan buttery spread in a large bowl. Add a little bit of the confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder. Continue to mix on low speed.
  • Alternate adding the sugar and cocoa powder and drizzling in the non-dairy milk until the desired consistency is reached. You may need more or less non-dairy milk. The frosting should be easy to spread, but not runny.
  • Frost the cake once it is cooled. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
