Vegan Chocolate Banana Bundt Cake

As mentioned in a previous blog post, I made this rather big vegan Chocolate Banana Bundt cake last weekend when I had my nephews over to help me and D in the garden. 
Only thing was, when it came time to eating it, they both said they were too full for a slice.  So other than taking a quarter for ourselves.  I divided the cake in two and packed it for them both to take home and share with their respective families and friends.  
Its quite chocolaty, but the hidden banana comes through quite strong too.  Its a very moist cake and reminded me a little of chocolate gateau sponge.  I think this cake would benefit from a dollop of cream or even ice-cream. 



Vegan Chocolate Banana Cake with Chocolate Chips
You will need 1 large Bundt tin, grease lightly with some oil
Serves 12 and more depending on the size of the slices
425g plain flour
75g cocoa powder
11/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
180g golden caster sugar
3 banana's mashed
400ml soy milk
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
200ml vegetable oil
Optional: 1 x packet of vegan chocolate chipsMethod
Sieve the dry ingredients first over a large bowl, then stir in the sugar. 
In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients,
First stir in the mashed banana into the dry ingredients, then carefully pour the liquid into the dry ingredients.
Due to the addition of bananas - PLEASE NOTE YOU MAY NOT NEED TO USE ALL OF THE LIQUID 
Stir in the chocolate chips is using and combine well. 
Then pour the cake batter and scrape into the Bundt tin.  
Transfer to preheated oven and bake at gas mark 4/180oC for 45 minutes to up to an hour  or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
Allow to cool completely before releasing from tin.
Optional dusting of icing sugar.
Serve as you wish.  
Best decorated the following day.

    I'm sure as a child I would always have had room for cake! This looks and sounds lovely.

      Well, one of them did eventually go for a small piece, but when he got home I am sure he had a bigger piece - i think they were being polite in front of us.

      Hi gz, I thought you knew. http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/end-of-culinary-chapter.html
      I do sometimes wonder if it was worth it in the larger scheme of things?! But I learned a tremendous lot along the way.

    Do you think this cake would work as well in a standard loaf tin? It looks fab, but I don't have a bundt tin.

      Hi Stephanie, Yes it would be 2 x 1lb loaf tins or 2 x 8 inch round cake tins that you could sandwich with a buttercream !

    Wow...Yum! The problem I have with most desserts is that they are too sweet. Have you ever used stevia in place of sugar? Will try this!

      Thanks e. This one is not that sweet honest. I haven't used stevia in cooking as of yet, though I do have some at home. I will have to try it one day

      Thank you so much, its gorgeous thanks to the Bundt tin. I got mine many years ago when I lived in Glasgow, Scotland. It was expensive. I got it from Lakeland.

      Thanks Joey, i agree - without the pan, it would be quite plain and simple looking.
