Gluten Free Banana Cake
This is what sweet dreams are made of! Our Gluten Free Banana Cake is incredibly moist, soft & fluffy, and topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting. My blog name should actually be called Natalie Way Bakes Bananas because I think I bake more banana goodies now than anything else! Hey – well I always have ripe bananas laying around can’t let them go to waste.
Dairy Free Banana Cake ?!
Yes-sir-eee! This is a dairy free banana cake, and there’s no telling. The cream cheese frosting however can go either way. For the dairy free version of the cream cheese frosting I like to use Tofutti brand cream cheese or Wayfare brand. Both are excellent and compliment this dairy free banana cake so well.
Here’s a quick rundown of your ingredients
- Namaste Perfect Flour Blend
- baking powder
- baling soda
- cinnamon
- vanilla extract
- sugar
- eggs
- egg white
- ripe bananas
- Earth Balance Butter stick
- unsweetened cashew milk
- dairy free cream cheese
- powdered sugar
Tips to make this Dairy Free Banana Cake
- Make sure your cashew milk is unsweetened. Some of them are vanilla flavored, make sure it’s the regular flavor not vanilla.
- When measuring out your flour, use a spoon to scoop the flour into your measuring cups. This will give you a more accurate measurement. ( Do not pack down flour )
- Don’t over mix the flour into the wet ingredients. Namaste Foods Perfect Flour Blend tends to thicken SUPER fast. So just mix with a spatula until combined. If you over mix, the cake will be gummy. And that is a big NO BUENO!
- If you would like to use a round 8 inch cake pan feel free. Keep in mind the cooking time will be longer. A 8 inch round cake pan cooks for a total of 45-50 minutes. Keep an eye out! Also don’t forget to cover with foil after 15 minutes.
