This recipe makes a four-tiered, chocolate and banana cake, which should yield around 20 slices. The quantities can be halved to make a more sensibly-sized bake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.) Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C.<\/p>\n<p>2.) Grease four 7-inch cake tins with butter or coconut oil, line with baking paper &amp; then grease the baking paper (you\u2019re going to need all the grease!).<\/p>\n<p>3.) Break the bananas up into pieces in a large bowl and mash them until you achieve a puree-like consistency.<\/p>\n<p>4.) Crack the eggs into a bowl and briefly beat them. Add these to the banana puree along with the Agave\/Honey and Vanilla Extract.<\/p>\n<p>5.) Melt the Coconut Oil in a microwave, allow to cool slightly then stir into the wet mixture.<\/p>\n<p>6.) In a separate bowl, combine the Pure Whey Protein, GF Oats, Coconut Flour, Cocoa Powder, Baking Powder and Cacao Nibs.<\/p>\n<p>7.) Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir until combined. You should achieve a fairly dense cake-batter-like consistency. If you think that it looks a bit dry then add a little more Coconut Oil.<\/p>\n<p>8.) Separate into the four tins, bake in the centre of the oven for 10-12 minutes. This is based upon using a fan-assisted oven, cooking times for conventional ovens may differ.<\/p>\n<p>9.) Remove from the oven &amp; leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins. Take the cakes out of the tins &amp; remove the baking paper. Leave to cool fully on a wire rack.<\/p>\n<p>10.) To make the icing, combine 500g Skyr yoghurt with 2 scoops of vanilla flavoured Micellar Casein. Mix until you have a thick consistency.<\/p>\n<p>11.) Stack that baby up!
