Banana Rum Cake

My friend Jolinda, who I met in West Sumatra, writes for vegetarian.about.com. She made this recipe for vegan banana cake which I modified and am posting here.



-2 cups flour
-1.5 t. baking soda
-0.5 t. salt
-0.25 cup oil
-0.25 c. soy/almond/hemp/whatever milk
-3-4 bananas (very ripe)
-1 cup sugar
-1.5 T. rum extract
-1/2 t. cinnamon
-1/2 t. ginger powder

preheat oven to 350. combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Mix together suger and oil, add milk, mash in banana, the extract, and the flavorings (i used a potato masher, then a egg beater thing with the hand crank... no clue what that's called... fast stirring with a spoon and a strong bicep muscle or an electric hand mixer will work). Bake for like 45 min (til a toothpick comes out clean).

You can ice it, or just serve it with vanilla ice cream. i don't really like icing, so... you can google how to make plain icing if you don't know how, but i'd just serve it with ice cream if i were you.

I tried to estimate calorie content, because my parents are on a diet, and i think the entire cake has about 2500 calories, so don't eat the entire cake if you are on a diet. It looks like it'll make 12 slices so that comes out to about 210 calories per slice (but i didn't put it in a bomb calorimeter or anything, just googled "number of calories in 2 cups of white flour", etc).

  1. Similar to any other machine, you as its user need to keep in mind the essence of maintenance and care. Following the right methods in doing so can ensure that the Meat mincer will last longer and at its finest condition at all times. A little thing that would mean a lot is to ensure that there will no bits of meats left within the machine while you store it. The manuals would be very handy to get other vital pieces of information about the machine.
