Cheryl's Wheat and Gluten-free Lovely Banana and Date Cake

Ingredients

  • 4oz gram flour
  • 4 oz brown rice flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

  • (Sieve together into a mixing bowl)
  • 4oz dates, chopped
  • 1oz (weight) extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 large, ripe, bananas

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 180C and line a loaf tin with grease-proof paper. Cut an oblong for the top of the cake.
  • Puree the bananas in a food processor, add the oil and whizz again.
  • Add the flour mixture and process to mix
  • Add the dates and mix minimally to avoid chopping the dates too fine
  • When all combined place the mixture into the loaf tin and level it off, placing the extra grease-proof paper over the top to protect it from over-darkening.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Leave to cool a little before lifting out to cool completely.
  • Eat on its own or try it spread with tahini or apricot fruit spread.
  • This is a moist loaf but store it in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within a couple of days as it loses its moisture. © Cheryl Colpman 2005
