ingredients
 

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, soft at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana - (~2 medium bananas)
  • 15 tablespoons aquafaba
  • 4 oz dark chocolate, melted

instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons of aquafaba, coconut oil, water, vanilla extract and mashed banana. Mix in with the dry ingredients.
  • In a large bowl and with clean beaters, beat 10 tablespoons of aquafaba for at least 6 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter.
  • Gently spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove any air pockets. Bake on the lowest rack at 325°F (167°C) for 60-65 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
  • Let it cool completely in the pan, then run a knife around the sides and the centre tube of the pan. Invert cake onto serving plate.
  • Frost top and sides with melted dark chocolate, and top with sliced bananas, chopped walnuts or pecans.

notes

  • Storing Instructions: freshly baked chiffon cake will keep for about 2-3 days in the fridge when properly stored. Cover it with foil or plastic wrap to prevent cake from drying out.
  • Freezing Instructions: to freeze wrap the cake tightly with aluminium foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in heavy-duty freezer bag. Properly stored, chiffon cake will maintain best quality for about 2 to 3 months, but will remain safe beyond that time.
