This cake was sooo good! You can find the recipe here, but I have my own recipe for the frosting and I baked my cake in two 6 inch round pans and then sliced some banana for the center filling. (I also used some sprinkles on the top to make it prettier, which is totally not paleo…but, as you can see from the picture, you only get about 6 sprinkles per piece of cake, so live a little.)
Chocolate frosting
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
Directions:
Place chocolate chips in a mixing bowl and bring coconut milk to a boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until all the chocolate chips are melted and everything is smooth. I added a pinch of xanthan gum to help it thicken a little, but that’s optional and will be thick enough without it. Let cool and then use it to frost your cake.
How did you make this so the bananas didn’t get brown? Looks great!
To be honest, I made the cake, took the pictures, and then it got eaten by everybody in the house within an hour…so I didn’t even think about keeping the bananas yellow!
Thanks for sharing – do you think you could use arrowroot instead of xantham gum in the frosting?
I think arrowroot would work since it’s a lot like cornstarch. Just make sure you add it to liquid that is NOT hot (like a little extra coconut milk) before adding it to the warmer ingredients. If you add the powder to hot ingredients it just clumps and gets gummy. I hope it works for you!
I made this cake today for my son’s birthday and everybody LOVED it. I used your recipe for the frosting, too, and added the bananas in the middle layer like you did. Even the paleo skeptics and the sugar freaks loved this cake. It’s pretty much perfection.
That’s awesome! The recipe creator of the cake did a great job. Isn’t it a good feeling when people who eat “normal” food like the paleo treats?
