Egg-free coconut and banana cake

Indulge in a moist and delightful Egg-free Coconut and Banana Cake that combines tropical flavors with a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture. This recipe is perfect for those with egg allergies or anyone looking to experiment with different ingredients while baking a delicious treat. The blend of coconut milk, ripe bananas, and a touch of passion fruit adds a refreshing twist to the classic cake.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of coconut milk, 2 mashed bananas, and 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil. Mix well until smooth.
- Add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1 tsp of baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
4. Add Vinegar:
- Quickly stir in 1 tbsp of vinegar. The vinegar will react with the baking soda to help the cake rise, so mix just until combined.
5. Pour into Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare Passion Fruit Topping:
- While the cake is cooling, extract the pulp from 1 passion fruit.
8. Dust and Serve:
- Once the cake has cooled, lightly dust the top with 1 tbsp of powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the passion fruit pulp over the cake for an added burst of flavor.
9. Enjoy: Slice and serve your egg-free coconut and banana cake with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Tips:

- Ensure that the bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.

- Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining them to avoid over-mixing.

- Grease your baking pan with some coconut oil to prevent the cake from sticking and to add extra coconut flavor.

- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Feel free to add nuts or dried fruit for additional texture and flavor.
