    Cook Time 45 mins
    Course Dessert, Gluten Free Cake
    Cuisine Australian, English
    Servings 8

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 ripe bananas - mashed
    • 125 g butter - at room temp
    • 2 eggs
    • ¾ of a cup of brown sugar
    • 1½ cups of gluten free self raising flour - I use Orgran Gluten Free Self Raising Flour
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • ¼ teaspoon of bi-carb soda
    • ¼ cup of milk (of your choice) I use almond milk

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to a moderate temperature 180ºC or 350ºF
    • Cream butter, sugar and vanilla together
    • Beat in eggs, one at a time
    • Mash bananas well with a fork then beat into the creamed mixture
    • Fold in flour and soda, then stir in milk
    • Line a cake tin (or ring tin) with baking paper. (I line the base and cut off the extra paper and grease the sides with butter)
    • Spoon onto the baking tin and bake at 180ºC or 350ºF (moderate oven) for 45 mins or until cooked. Test with a skewer and if it comes out clean, then it is ready.
    • Cool in the tin for a few minutes before turning out onto a cake cooler.
    • You can serve it warm drizzled with custard or when the cake is cool, ice it with either a butter cream icing or cream cheese icing.
    • Cream Cheese Icing - mix 125g of soft cream cheese, 1 cup of icing sugar and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Mix to a smooth consistency and top the delicious banana cake!! Enjoy 🙂

        Absolutely perfect banana cake! Worked brilliantly every time I've made it (even with baby-brain making me use the wrong sugar 🥴😵‍💫FYI raw caster sugar, soft brown sugar, and coconut sugar all make a nice cake 🤷‍♀️)
        Never even gets to cool down as it gets devoured 😂

      This cake disappeared in 4 hours.

      I made some modifications, as my daughter is gluten & dairy free. I’m learning a lot about dairy free-cooking substitutions, and this is hands down the best recipe I’ve ever tried that allows those modifications. I made a glaze to go on top with dairy free cream cheese, confectioners sugar & lemon juice; poke holes in the cake and added the glaze when it was semi-warm. Then I put it straight into the fridge for an hour. Talk about amazing. And I believe real feta is a food group!

      This cake turned out amazing. Wouldn't be able to tell it is gluten free. The only thing is I found cook time to be way shorter (about 30mins)

      Great recipe, just bake one today, beyond delicious ! Thank you for sharing. I think I can cut down the butter by a little, not because of calories, but the cake is a touch too oily. Will keep this as my “go to” cake recipe.
