🍲 Ingredients

Creamed Honey – About 90-95% of the time, I eat a vegan and plant-based diet. However, I do make some exceptions when I want to eat something like honey, which I love so much as a natural sweetener. Creamed Honey gives a creamy, delicious flavor to this cake and uses a special process that makes it just melt in your mouth. Despite its name, there is no cream in creamed honey!

Bananas – These provide natural sweetness and moisture to this honey cake while also serving as an egg replacement. They blend perfectly with the honey flavor and create a wonderfully tender texture that makes each bite of this cake absolutely delicious.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Honey Cake

1. Preheat your oven and lightly grease two 9X9 baking tins (yes we’re making a layered cake baby)
2. In a large bowl, mash together two bananas (you can use flax eggs if you don’t like bananas)
3. To the same bowl, add your vegan yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, honey, oil, and brown sugar. Stir it all up until well combined!
4. Add almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, and stir it in with the other ingredients
5. Transfer and divide the batter evenly between your tins and bake these up for 25-30 minutes
6. Place cake onto the counter to let it cool for at least 5 minutes before you remove them from the tins.
7. Assemble cake by placing the first layer of cake onto a flat surface, cake stand or plate.  Layer on some coco whip or cream cheese frosting and place the other layer of cake on top. To the top cake, add more coco whip or cream cheese frosting, 1/4 cup creamed honey (warmed and drizzled) and then add fresh thyme and gorgeous berries on top.

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• Mixing: Don’t overmix the batter – stir just until the ingredients are combined for the tenderest cake.
• Temperature: Make sure ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
• Garnish: Add more coco whip and warm honey drizzle to the top, plus fresh thyme and seasonal berries.

🗒 Substitutions

• Bananas: If you don’t like the flavor of bananas, use flax eggs instead (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg).
• Flour: Replace up to half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat for a nuttier flavor.
• Yogurt: Any plant-based yogurt works – coconut, almond, or soy will all be delicious.
• Toppings: Try different seasonal fruits or edible flowers for unique presentations.

🗒 Best served with

• Strawberry Crumble Bars
• 10-Minute Peanut Butter Almond Bars
• Vegan Cashew Chocolate Mousse Cake
• Chocolate Chunk Vegan Blondies
• Warm Apple Fritters
