DessertsGluten Free

Serves 8

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 ripe bananas - mashed
  • 1/2 c 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 baking 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 your favorite icing.
