5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star No reviews

Description

An easy-to-make green banana and chocolate cake that can also make a great replacement for ladyfingers if you want to make a gluten-free, sugar-free, and lectin-free tiramisu cake. 

Ingredients

BLENDER MIX

  • 3 green bananas (medium size)
  • 2 pasture-raised eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • 1 teaspoon orange and lemon extract or zest (1 lemon & 1 orange)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2–3 tablespoons sweetener (I used inulin + erythritol)
  • 1 tablespoon yacon syrup / monk fruit syrup

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4 cup tigernut flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

ADD-ONS

  • 2 tablespoons dry berries (I used sugar-free aronia berries)
  • 40 grams chopped dark chocolate (90%) plus a bit more for the top.
  • 20 grams of toasted pine nuts (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F / 170C. Line an 8×8’’ (20x20cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the content of the blender until creamy and smooth.
  3. Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  4. Add the blender content to the dry ingredients and incorporate it with a spatula.
  5. Add all the add-on ingredients and combine them with a spatula so everything is distributed evenly.
  6. Transfer the batter to the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate on top, and level with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes. If you know your oven is running hot, check the cake after 25 minutes. The top should be set, the cake should not be soft to touch.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  9. With the help of the parchment paper handles, remove the cake from the pan and place it on a cooling rack.
  10. When it’s cold, you can potion it into nine squares and serve or store in the fridge in a glass container with a lid.
  11. If you are using this cake to make tiramisu, bake it one or two days in advance and store it in the fridge.

Notes

Use this cake to replace ladyfingers in a gluten-free, sugar-free and lectin-free tiramisu cake (see post above for link to recipe).
