Natural cakes are quite something: sweet enough to satisfy your cravings, nutricious, healthy and so tasty! Since I’ve started baking them I have no need to go back to my old recipes because these are definitely much better! Banana+walnuts is (almost) all you need but if you want to step up your game you should definitely try this natural whipped cream! I guarantee you’ll love it as much as (or even more than) chantilly 😉
My first mini bundt cakes were made with cocoa and pumpkin and they were so yummy!! I even named them black magic cakes due to their powerful and “out of this world” taste. You can find the recipe here. Today I’ve created a variation of this recipe with bananas and walnuts, a super foods combo topped with whipped coconut cream that you can easily make at home. Bye bye chantilly, hello coconantilly 🙂

Thank you, Joanna 🙂
These banana walnut mini bundt cake looks absolutely stunning! I loved your additon of coconut whip—so YUM! Would love to see you on my space sometime! 🙂
Thank you, Anu! Love your Indian recipes 🙂
The recipes calls for baking powder but the directions say baking soda. Which one is it? I’m thinking soda from making regular banana bread in the past.
Thank you for spotting the mistake. It´s actually baking powder to leaven better. If you prefer, you can add 1/2 a tsp of baking soda + 1/2 tsp lemon juice or vinegar instead. Anyway, sorry for the mistake, it´s now corrected.
I just made these. So delicious, moist and satisfying! I made them into mini cupcakes, and wrapped them individually. Great snack for in the go. I used 200 ml of cream for topping. You stated half a can. A can is 400 ml, am i right?
Hi Susan! I´m glad you enjoyed them 🙂 200 ml is just fine. Low FODMAP safe serving is 125 ml, so you can have half the dose per meal.
