Gluten free banana cake with miso caramel? Sounds good right? I guarantee you that this version of the banana loaf will not let you down, it will satisfy you just as the glutinous one!
No no, I didn’t disappear forever I only took a little break. I’m gonna be very honest with you I felt a bit low because of the Corona virus and the constant in and out of lockdowns. On top of that, I find out that I have some level of gluten intolerance that also made me kind a sad as I love bread especially sourdough too much. During that time I was working in an artisan bakery and patisserie… how ironic right? But! I had to realise this isn’t the end of my life, although I need to make changes around my life. This doesn’t mean I stopped eating gluten, I still do but 99% of the time I eat gluten free.
I had to learn ( still learning ) a lot of things about gluten free baking. Every single gluten free (gf) flour ( not talking about the blends) effects the outcome of the bakes very differently. Still finding my favourite flour combinations and ratios. While the glutinous flours form a gluten net when kneading, the gluten free needs a little help from psyllium husk or xantan gum to trap some fermentation gases or for the binding effect.
This gluten free banana cake is a result of a few trials and errors. I find it important to choose the right flour combinations that will not add extra flavour to the cake. Also I wanted a nice and moist texture that lasts for at least a couple of days… I think I succeeded!
The flour combination that I use in this recipe works well with this recipe. If you use different flour you my need to adjust your ratios.
This banana cake is so tasty and very moist even on the third day. The miso caramel goes well with the cake but it’s wonderful with ice cream too.
Keep it in an airtight container to preserve the freshness longer!
Enjoy!
