For Breastfeeding Mothers: Macrobiotic Banana Cake

When breastfeeding, a mother should avoid consuming too much fat, so I came up with my own dessert recipe. Although macrobiotic desserts like this use only plant oils, which help to produce breast milk and prevent mastitis, they're so expensive to buy...

I don't really have any tips for this recipe; just gradually mix everything together.
If you're adding extra fruit to this cake then I suggest prunes and raisins. (I used some frozen blueberries that I had leftover this time.) You can also mix jam into the batter, just make sure that it's unsweetened. Recipe by 07runka
