    How to Prepare Banana Cake with Raisins [Vegan]

    1. In a large bowl, combine bananas, red wine, and sugar, and toss gently. Cover and leave to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
    2. Place banana-wine mixture in a large skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, occasionally stirring, until the liquid is slightly thickened (8 to 10 minutes).
    3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease bottom and sides of an 8-inch (20 cm) baking pan with vegan butter, and then line with parchment paper.
    4. In a large bowl, whisk coconut milk, yogurt, and rice flour together until smooth. Stir in bread pieces, and then (while wearing gloves) squeeze the pieces to soften them and help them absorb the liquid. Add two-thirds of the simmered banana slices and three-quarters of the raisins, and stir well.
    5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Arrange the remaining simmered banana slices and raisins on top.
    6. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, bake for 45 minutes, and then remove foil and bake for another 45 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of baking, check the cake. The bananas around the edges will caramelize faster, so to help the top brown evenly, cut a circle, 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter, in the center of the aluminum foil that is large enough to expose the uncaramelized surface to heat. Cover with the foil and continue to bake until the top of the cake is caramelized evenly.
    7. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the pan, and then refrigerate overnight before serving. This allows the cake to set firmly and the flavors to deepen.
    8. Before serving, remove the cake from the baking pan and cut into slices. Serve cold.
