I was looking for some cornmeal recipes for the Corn event and remembered that I had bookmarked one healthy snack cake recipe from my friend Viji's blog.

Her blog has an amazing collection of traditional and innovative recipes. I have made a couple of changes to the original recipe keeping the measurement same. Since her blog is private, I'm reproducing her recipe (along with changes made by me) here with her permission.To make it vegan friendly, I used brown rice milk instead of dairy milk, canola oil and unsweetened applesauce instead of butter in the original recipe. If you are able to find vegan chocolate chips or use carob chips this snack cake recipe will be 100% vegan. Even after all these changes the cake tasted very good.Speaking of which, brown rice milk is a new addition in our diet. Earlier I have baked with regular rice milk and almond milk, but this is the first time I have used brown rice milk.I prefer rice milk to soy milk, especially while baking. I feel that some brands of soy milk leaves an unpleasant odor in baked goods. I have tried a couple of vegan cake recipes with soy milk and felt that the texture was not good too, very sticky. So I usually go with rice milk or almond milk. Now brown rice milk is my favorite too. It tastes good by itself too. My son has it with his cereal. So if a 4-year-old likes it, then it should be definitely good, right?Recipe

Hello Madhurum,
I posted a question meant for this recipe, in the wrong section (Tutti Frutti Cake). Please delete it from there.
any substitute for banana in this recipe?
Thank you.

  You could use some more applesauce itself or any other pureed fruit for that matter. In that case do increase the quantity of baking powder to 1 teaspoon from 3/4 th. You can also try pureed silken tofu instead of banana.

    Why increase baking powder if using someother pureed fruit instead of pureed bananas?

      I personally feel that when unsweetened applesauce is used in a recipe the end product is very heavy, dense and not light at all. So I usually add about 1/4 teaspoon extra baking powder to make it lighter.

      Not necessarily NSG. If I remember right I used it straight up, or else I would have mentioned it.
