Imagine a cake that's moist, flavorful, and completely gluten-free. This gluten-free banana cake is a treat that everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions, can enjoy. Let's dive into the magic of creating this delicious dessert!
– 3 ripe bananas – 2 cups of gluten-free flour – 1 teaspoon of baking soda – 1 teaspoon of baking powder – 1/2 teaspoon of salt – 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened)
– 3/4 cup of granulated sugar – 2 large eggs – 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract – 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth. This will be the base of your cake, adding natural sweetness and moisture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating a light texture in your cake.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, into the butter mixture. Then, add the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Then, fold in the mashed bananas.
