Chocolate Banana Cake Extra Moist, Vegan
This cake is Vegan. Note it is not gluten free. The cake is extremely moist and delicious and just sweet enough to make you feel like you can eat the whole loaf. It would be great with some caramel (made with coconut milk and vegan butter of course)

- Put the dates and bananas into a bowl and mash together till reasonably smooth
- Add the oil and the milk and stir till combined.
- Add the sifted cocoa, flour and bi carbonate of soda and mix till just combined.
- Tip into the loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Warm the coconut cream without boiling. Break up the chocolate and stir into the cream mixture till dissolved.

Notes
You can make this cake with dairy if you like
You can also make this cake without the cocoa. It will be a deliciously moist banana loaf, just replace the cocoa with flour. So use a total of 200 gm plain flour.
*********I found if the bananas are too watery the cake is just too moist, so be sure to use bananas that are straight from the freezer or so black they are watery.
