Gluten-Free Banana Cake Recipe with Rum Twist

For this scrumptious cake, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup of oil
  • 2 teaspoons of rum extract
  • 1 cup of almond flour (or simply grind a handful of almonds if almond flour isn’t available)
  • 1/4 cup of coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • A handful of chopped pecans
  • Vegan, sugar-free chocolate chunks for garnish

Here’s how to whip it up:

  1. Start by mashing the bananas until smooth, then add in the eggs, oil, and rum extract, and give it all a good mix.
  2. Next, incorporate the dry ingredients – almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt – and mix until well combined. Finally, fold in the chopped pecans.
  3. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Sprinkle the chocolate chunks over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
  4. Pop the cake into a preheated oven set to 170 degrees Celsius and bake for around 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool before slicing and serving.

For an extra treat, pair this delightful cake with a scoop of sugar-free vegan ice cream or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
