Ingredients

4 1/2 cups white wholewheat flour 540g
1 1/2 cups allulose 300g
1 tablespoon baking soda 12g
1 teaspoon salt 5g
2 teaspoon cinnamon 5g
3 large bananas 330g, well mashed
1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons oil 165ml
2 1/4 cups milk 540ml, I used unsweetened almond milk
2 cups cream cheese frosting 480g

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease three 8-inch cake pans and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sweetener, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the bananas, oil, and milk, and mix until a thick batter remains.
Transfer the cake batter evenly among the cake pans. Bake the cakes for 40 to 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out mostly clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely in the cake pans. Once cooled, frost and layer the cakes.
Take the first cake and place it on a flat surface. Spread a generous portion of frosting on top. Place the second cake on top and add more frosting to cover. Top with the final cake, and frost the top and the outside of the cake completely.

Notes

Nutritional calculation: Recipe is calculated without frosting. When made with generic frosting, each slice comes to 542 calories. Alternatively, make my healthy frosting-

My healthy cream cheese frosting: 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (225g), softened. 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g), 1/4 cup maple syrup (60ml), 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Method: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the Greek yogurt and beat again. Mix in the maple syrup and salt and beat until light and creamy. If you prefer a thicker frosting, add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour (10g) and beat until thickened.

Single layer cake measurements: 1 1/2 cups flour (180g), 1/2 cup sweetener (100g), 3/4 teaspoon baking soda (4g), 2/3 teaspoon cinnamon (1.7g), 1 large mashed banana (110g), 3 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons oil (55ml), 3/4 cup milk (180ml), 1 cup frosting (160g). Each slice would have 195 calories including the frosting (generic cream cheese frosting).
