Frosting: 

  • 3/4 cup vegan cream cheese 
  • 1 1/2 cups icing sugar

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius degrees. Line a banana bread tin loaf with parchment paper. 
  2. Combine all the wet ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.  In another bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients except raspberries. Pour the wet mixture over the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.

  5.  Let the cake cool completely before slicing/glazing.
  6. For the glaze: cream the cream cheese with the icing sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. 
  7. Frost the cake with the icing and then decorate with sliced figs or more raspberries. serve and enjoy!
