Introduction
What seems like a rather unappetizing combination of ingredients turns into a velvety, moist teacake with pockets of toffee both rippling through and crowning it off! If you can get a brand of vegan toffee, the whole recipe is vegan, and there's no added oil - the moisture comes from banana and avocado!
