SERVINGS
Makes one 8 x 8-inch cake

INGREDIENTS
Cake:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup soy flour
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup soy milk
1/3 cup honey
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 medium bananas, mashed

Topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

PREPARATION
1. Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, flaxseed meal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a medium bowl, mix together the soy milk, honey, egg, vanilla, and bananas. Combine the milk mixture with the flour mixture until combined. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Combine the topping ingredients and mix until crumbly, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.

4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
