DessertsDairy Freegluten-freeKid FriendlyVegetarian
This gluten-free cake is made with coconut flour and brown rice flour. It has strawberries and banana making it naturally sweet and incredibly delicious.
Servings 8 to 10

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of real maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups chopped strawberries
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 banana sliced into rounds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease a 9 inch springform or tart pan with coconut oil.
  • In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients: flours, baking powder, soda and cinnamon.
  • In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: vanilla, maple syrup, olive oil and eggs.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Do not over-mix. The batter will be a bit crumbly but you shouldn't see any dry bits. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
  • Spoon the mixture into the pan and smooth out the top. Decorate the top with banana slices.
  • Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a fork inserted comes out clean. Check cake at around 25 minutes. If it is starting to brown on the top cover with tin foil so it doesn't burn.
  • Remove from oven when done and set on a cooling rack for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with coconut yogurt or coconut ice cream!

Notes

Serves 8-10. If you don't have coconut flour, this cake works with brown rice flour too.
This cake is the texture of coffee cake.
