Creamed Honey Cake
Ingredients
2 large bananas - very ripe, mashed
1 cup vegan yogurt
1/2 cup of almond milk
1 tbsp vanilla
1/4 cup Artisan Bees Creamed Honey
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup almond flour
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of sea salt
Toppings/for assembly:
fresh berries of choice
1/4 cup Artisan Bees Creamed Honey, lightly warmed
Fresh thyme
Coco Whip, Cream Cheese frosting, or Dairy-free frosting of choice
Process
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease two 9 X 9 baking tins with vegan margarine or butter, around 1 tbsp. total.
In a large mixing bowl, mash together the two bananas.
To the bowl, add vegan yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, creamed honey, coconut oil, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined up to 1 minute.
In another bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Once combined, add this to the wet ingredients bowl until well combined and there are no clumps in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the two cake tins and bake for 25-30 minutes. The cake is finished when you poke a toothpick into the cake and it comes out clean!
Set the cakes aside to cool for 5 minutes before removing from their tins.
Assemble the cake by placing the first layer of cake onto a flat surface, cake stand, or plate. Layer on some Coco Whip or the cream cheese frosting and place the other layer of cake on top. To the top cake, add more coco whip or cream cheese frosting, 1/4 cup creamed honey (warmed and drizzled), and then add fresh thyme and your berries on top!
Substitutions and Flavor Options
When it comes to cakes, customizing can be a great way to add a twist that makes it all your own. If you don’t like bananas, two vegan eggs can be used instead. If you’re not vegan, two regular eggs will substitute perfectly, as well! Additionally, you can add even more flavor and sophistication to your cake by drizzling one of our flavored creamed honey! We suggested the Lemon, Vanilla Almond, or Blueberry options for the best pairings!
