Ingredients

Cake

2 mashed ripe bananas
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 1/8 cup AP flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/8-1/4 cup almond milk or other plant milk
3/4 tsp white wine vinegar
Splash of vanilla
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of salt

Frosting:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
5 tbsp plant based shortening or butter if not vegan – softened
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 tbsp almond milk
Optional chocolate chips (can be vegan depending on which brand you use)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl
Mash ripe bananas, add oil, vanilla, vinegar, milk
Stir wet ingredients into dry, combine well.
Bake cake in 9" cake pan for 25-30 min, until toothpick comes out clean
For frosting, simply combine all ingredients with mixer or whisk. Whip until no chunks remain. Fold in chocolate chips.
Ice your cake however you please! You can make an iced loaf, a multi tier cake, etc! Remember, this recipe is for a HALF CAKE (I personally would have eaten an entire one otherwise, so be sure to double everything if you want a full 2 layer 9 inch cake)

Notes

To frost a half cake but still get beautiful layers, cut your cake in half, so that you have two half-moon shapes. Level each half. Then, frost one half, stacking the other on top, so you have a 2-layer half-moon. Then frost the top and sides, decorate as you please, and slice!
