Liked this. I made this for my niece who suffers from dairy, egg and other allergies and I used raisins in this. The only change I made was to omit the vanilla, since niece is also allergic to that and to cook it in a loaf tin instead of as two cakes. I increased the cooking time a little until a toothpick came out dry. It was still a moist cake and it went down well enough but several people said they found it to be a little sweet, and one said it was too banana-ry (Duh, it's a banana cake, so discount their opinion!) I must say that banana cake is not often seen here and it was a first for my Dutch family, so maybe their so-so response to this is more due to it being a new taste than anything else. I would certainly make it again. Please see my rating system: a lovely 3 stars for a vegan recipe that I hope can help niece to not miss out when cake is on the table. Thanks!

I live in Canada, and I work in the restaurant industry (not a chef!). Don't have a favorite cookbook, but I love these internet sites, (especially this one, where you can get the dietary info - that's cool). I'm pretty passionate about animals, and about my health, (regardless of what my beer and cigarette habit might say about me!). The majority of food I like to eat is vegetarian, if not, vegan. I am able to enjoy a good steak every now and again, however. As long as I don't have to cook it. (I hate cooking meat - makes such a mess...) I have recently had a month off - I took the time to backpack around Mexico by myself. Crazy? Nah. Well, maybe...
