Vegan Banana and Raspberry Layered Traybake

So this week, as it is Valentines Day coming up, I have decided to do little treat ideas. I thought that what says I love you and care for you more than a batch of homemade baked goods? Nothing. So this recipe is a Vegan Banana and Raspberry Layered traybake. I wanted this recipe to be able to adapt to a dairy free diet as well, as finding dairy free Valentines day related goods in shops can become a hard task. This traybake is a light and sticky sponge with a banana base and fruity raspberry top and, like I did, iced with love in heart shaped patterns!

5.Pour the banana mixture into a lightly oiled 10x8 square tin then pour the raspberry mixture on top of the banana mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes at 175’C and to check if it is done by inserting a sharp knife or a cake tester and take out of the oven if when the knife is removed is clean.

 

6.Leave to cool then using a heart shaped cutter cut into cute little hearts and give to a loved one!

 

I decorated mine with simple icing sugar and red food colouring and had a little fun decorating these heart shaped treats!
 

 

As you can tell I had lots of fun icing these!
