Ingredients

Cake

2 mashed bananas (around 1 cup)
2 eggs whisked
450gm diced pineapple (reserve juice). I used fresh and drained it, otherwise a can is fine
1/3 cup of reserved pineapple juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tspn vanilla essence
3/4 cup of coconut sugar
1 tspn stevia
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
2 cups of SF flour (25ogm)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
pinch salt, coriander & nutmeg
tspn cinnamon
1/2 tspn of baking powder

Icing

Small can of coconut cream refridgerated for 24 hours, cream separated and scooped off top of tin
1 tspn of stevia
2 drop of orange or lemon essential oil (I use Doterra)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius and line a large cake tin with baking paper
In a bowl mix all wet ingredients (eggs, banana, olive oil, pineapple, juice, vanilla)
Fold and stir in well all dry ingredients (sugar, stevia, flour, coconut, spices, walnuts)
If mix is very thick, add a little more pineapple juice
Pour batter into cake tin
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, when skewer inserted comes out clean
Allow to cool before removing from tin and icing
If icing the cake with coconut cream scoop out and whip the thick cream that has separated in the can, add a few drops of a citrus essential oil & stevia for sweetness

Notes

I absolutely love cream cheese icing but not everyone in my family tolerates dairy. By all means go ahead and lather the cake with your favourite icing.
