Vegan and Gluten-Free Chocolate Banana Cake Recipe

Even though we make our own flour blends at the cafe, we recommend Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour blend to the home cook because it contains xanthan gum, which can be expensive and is used sparingly in gluten-free baking. If you love chocolate, stud the batter with chocolate chips before baking.
