Banana Cake
Cake
1 cup soft dates, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cup finely ground almonds
1 cup finely ground dried coconut
1/2 cup finely ground cashews
Cream
1 cup cashews (or cashews + macadamia nuts)
1 cup fresh coconut milk (simply blend 1 part dried coconut with 3 parts
water in high speed blender)
1/8 - 1/4 cup honey or agave (depending on how sweet you like it)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup coconut butter, melted
1 tablespoon lecithin* (1 tbs + 1 tsp psyllium)
To make the Whipped Cream:
Blend all ingredients except lecithin until smooth. Add lecithin and
blend until thoroughly mixed. Set in fridge for about 1 hr.
You should have extra whipped cream but I'm sure you'll find other ways
to use it. lol
To make the Cake:
Place dates in food processor and process until a smooth paste forms.
You may need to add a little water.
Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth.
Assembly:
You can line a medium margarine tub with plastic film (for convenience
in taking it out later)
Form an even layer on the bottom with the cake mixture.
Top with banana slices, followed by some of the cream. Set in fridge!
You can make the cake layered! Just repeat the layers after leaving it
in the fridge for an hour or so.
