banana wacky (crazy) cake

wagirl — Sat, 23 Nov 2024 14:59:47 GMT

Made this yesterday--and wow, was it good!! This type of recipe uses no eggs, butter, or milk --was a depression era recipe--- it turned out delicious and soft and very moist. My Gram made one in choc that is to die for. I made that one as my kids b-day cakes. This time, instead of the 1 cup of water called for, I did use almond milk. Made it a little richer I think. I added choc chips to the top. There are all sorts of recipes for wacky cakes--am thinking about doing a pumpkin one. You can make an icing or frosting to go on top too.

@wagirl Yes I would also love the recipe! It sounds like something I could make for my daughter & her husband who are both vegan.

Those cakes are great for a two person household. I made a dozen banana muffins this morning.

@wagirl Thank you for that website! I briefly checked it out just now and was amazed at all the variations of this cake that look scrumptious! Plus, I am always on the lookout for a great banana cake with banana frosting, so I've bookmarked it for that particular cake recipe as well. They certainly do have a lot of other tasty looking recipes as well

Ditto with THANKS @wagirl ..... great website! I will be going back to it when I have more time. I saw so many good recipes. I appreciate the crazy cake recipes as I have a son with a dairy allergy.

@cindyNC I found this recipe online. I plan on making a vegan version and will add some chocolate chips which is not in the recipe.

Vegan Banana Wacky Cakes

This recipe is a delicious and moist vegan banana wacky cake that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. It’s easy to make and requires just a few ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
1 cup granulated sugar 🍮
1 teaspoon baking soda ⚗️
1/2 teaspoon salt 💸
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon ❀️
1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas 🍌
1/2 cup water 💧
1/4 cup canola oil 💧
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 🍎

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Make three depressions in the dry ingredients. Pour the vinegar in one depression, the vanilla extract in another, and the oil in the third.
Add the mashed bananas and water to the bowl. Mix the batter well until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
Don’t overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake.
If you want a moist and fluffy cake, don’t overbake it.
You can top the cake with your favorite frosting or glaze, or simply dust it with powdered sugar.

Enjoy your delicious vegan banana wacky cake! 🍰
