Banana & Ginger Cake, Vegan

2021-04-09

Jump To Recipe Print Recipe

As weird as it sounds, I’m not crazy about bananas, but I’m dying for a banana cake. My favorite recipe was (and still is) with butter, cream, and nuts. As I write this post, I can almost smell it.

Veganize the recipe seems to me to miss the point – unfortunately, the unique smell that comes from combining butter and bananas – can not be veganized, at least at the moment. And so, I thought of an alternative that would not feel like a bland compromise to me.

But then, I recalled my old recipe notebook; The one who humbly waited in the corner of the bookshelf. The one I kept mainly because of sentiments and nostalgia; The one that holds my Mom’s recipes for Hungarian and traditional Jewish recipes. The pages have already turned yellow, the cover has started to crumble, and I was sure it takes up valuable space just as a monument!

Among Mom’s recipes, Ina’s chocolate cake, Ella’s layer cake hid a tiny newspaper clipping with a banana and ginger cake recipe!

Veganizing the recipe was literaly a piece of cake: I replaced the fresh ginger with ground ginger that seemed to me more suitable, more available, and more convenient to use, and I added pieces of dried ginger. The result? Delightful. Without the slightest hint of compromise.

You can bake the cake in any mold you like, including muffin pan.
Enjoy and let me know how it turned out ❣️
