Prep Time: 10 minutes

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • 10" round cake pan or 7x10

Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups 1.1 Gluten Free flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, room temp
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Topping

  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup caramel

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spray your cake pan with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
  • Arrange the sliced bananas in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the eggs and sugar and beat for a couple of minutes until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the eggs are a little frothy. Add the mashed bananas, butter, and vanilla and mix to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the walnuts.
  • Pour batter into the cake pan and bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. The top will be lightly browned.
  • When out of the oven, allow the cake to cook for 5 minutes then drizzle the caramel on top of the cake.
  • You can serve directly out of the pan. You can also loosen the sides with a knife, and then using a large plate or cake stand flip the cake out so the bananas are on top. Drizzle the caramel on each individual slice or the entire cake depending which serving method you choose.
