Vegan Orange and Banana loaf cake

I adapted this recipe by adding two mashed ripe bananas at the end of this

https://bakewithshivesh.com/vegan-orange-loaf-cake/

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • zest of one orange
  • a pinch of salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup organic white sugar
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup hot water
  • ADD two ripe mashed bananas
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C and prepare a loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and orange zest.
  3. In a large bowl combine, both the the sugars, orange juice,vegetable oil and water.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and ADD mashed bananas. Fold to combine. Do not over mix.
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake at 180C for 30-40 minutes

Maybe go easy on the white/caster sugar; a quarter cup will be enough, and I cooked 30mins at 180 degrees Celsius then 10mins at 160C.

Delightfully juicey!

We've been loving juice-ing it up to make sure we get lots of good nutrients from veggies and citrus fruits! My fave recipe that makes 2 large serves is;
1 orange, peeled
1 lemon, peeled
3 or 4 sticks of celery
1 beetroot, peeled
3 or 4 carrots
1 cucumber
A thumb of fresh ginger, peeled

Cut off any knobbly ends and the celery leaves and chop into large pieces that will fit in the juicer. Juice the ginger fairly early on and alternate the different veggies. Poor into a large jug and stir before serving!

If you're on a weight loss regime, we've found supplementing this large serve as dinner, or having it with a small protein based snack, like this homemade sundried tomatoe, nut & seed cracker, with homemade hommus and fresh tomatoes!
