by | Aug 9, 2018 | Lady Banane Banana Muffins, Recipe

Fancy layer cake isn’t hard when you make it with broken cake in a mason jar! Learn how to make the easiest gluten free and vegan banana pudding layer cake (or trifle!). This cake method is versatile and can be used to make any flavour of cake. Why not try lemon raspberry as well! Let’s get baking!

 

Easy Banana Pudding Layer Cake

 

Hands up if your gluten free cake has broken on you while trying to do something with it 🙌😭

PRO TIP: broken gluten free cake makes the best deconstructed cakes! It absorbs the fillings much better than a sturdy cake, and it looks super fancy in a mason jar.

We like to call it deconstructed cake (it’s a bit more vogue, don’t you think). Deconstructed cake was born into our existence after a random catastrophe in our production kitchen where this huge sheet of layer cake just snapped in half as we tried to remove it from the pan. As we hate food waste, we threw the broken cake into the freezer until something inspired us to use it.

It then hit me: mini trifle! It’s the perfect way to use broken cake, especially if you layer it with awesome fillings!

In this recipe, we layer of banana cake made from Dolled Up Desserts Lady Banane muffin mix, our vegan buttercream (recipe is right here) and simple vegan banana pudding… for someone that’s not a banana fan, this layer cake is INCREDIBLY FLAVOURFUL! And requires no skill…. so why aren’t you baking yet?

As always, this cake is entirely gluten free and vegan as well as nut free (but you can also add walnuts to the layers, that would be LOVELY!). Remember to pick up the cake mix in our shop, as well as your icing essentials (soy isolate protein anyone!)

The perfect combo of salty and sweet! These soft gluten free and vegan peanut butter banana and coconut bacon bars are barre none. Super simple to bake, and even easier to eat! If you have never had Elvis Presley’s favourite flavour combination, then this one is for you!

Peanut Butter Banana Bacon “Elvis” Cake Bars

 

Elvis is and always will be the King Of Rock n’ Roll. I am a huge fan of Elvis, and wanted to pay homage to The King with the Elvis Cake. Elvis’ favourite flavour combination was peanut butter, bacon and bananas. They’re pretty great separate, but I was curious about how they would taste together.

Thus the Elvis cake was born!

Protein Packed Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

by | Apr 17, 2018 | Lady Banane Banana Muffins

Our premium banana muffin baking mix made exactly as it should be- as a banana muffin. But as always, we like to add a little delicious twist, and to this simple recipe, we’ve added some extra protein, chocolate and walnuts. Let’s get baking!

PROTEIN PACKED BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

So I’m a bit of a snack queen. Food in general is always the key to making me happy, so snacking is the way to continually ensure I don’t enter the realm of hanger. Cue one of my favourite snacks that is actually a treat: protein packed banana chocolate chip muffins!

These muffins are a staple in our baking, of which we get orders of constantly. They’re super simple (especially with the baking mix) to put together and the best part is that they freeze really well (up to 6 weeks). Thus they are the perfect pick-me-Up or throw-in-your-work-bag kind of snack that will satisfy, anytime. I may have eaten these for breakfast and dessert after dinner on the same day. They’re just SO moist and flavourful.

A pro baking tip for banana muffins is using previously frozen bananas. Smoothie bananas provide extra moisture and banana flavour to your muffins, which is essential to making gluten free banana bread taste moist and soft! Bananas also a great egg replacement.
