Double Layer Banana Chocolate Chip Cake made with organic sprouted brown rice flour and all vegan ingredients for an easy and delicious homemade cake!
It’s not my birthday. It’s not anyone’s birthday that I know of but today we are making a homemade CAKE because why the heck no?
And it’s not just any cake. I whipped up a Double Layer Chocolate Chip Banana Cake that is vegan, gluten-free and hands down the easiest homemade cake ever. I know we all cheat with baking mixes a lot, but this recipe is too easy not to make in the kitchen.
I love that you only need a few simple ingredients like mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, coconut oil and the flour we use is an organic sprouted brown rice flour.
This CAKE is perfect to whip up for dessert for the week or to bake for a friend, family member, yourself – literally anyone. It isn’t overly indulgent and at first I wanted to call it a breakfast cake because in this home, it is acceptable to eat this for breakfast with a little coconut yogurt and fruit.

Have you tried any other flours? I’d love to try this recipe but have no idea where I can get sprouted brown rice flour locally.

oat flour or spelt would work!

Just tried this recipe with half oat flour and half rice flour and worked great! Loved the flavor!
