I was all set to make a plum cake for dessert yesterday when I remembered I can't eat plums. Or apples, or pears, or any of the fruit in the fruit bowl (it's a long story). I did have a banana though so decided to experiment with that. I made a plum cake for everyone else, it had halved plums cut side down on the bottom and sponge mixture on top. I'm told it tasted nice...
For myself, meanwhile, I made a kind-of upside-down banana cake/pudding thing!
Ingredients (to generously serve 2)
2oz butter, softened
2oz butter, softened
1½oz sugar
1 egg
2oz gluten-free flour (or regular)
1 tsp baking powder1 small banana, sliced
Method
Step 1
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and smooth. Add the egg, flour and baking powder and beat until all combined.
Step 2
Grease a small cake tin or ovenproof dish. Arrange the banana slices on the bottom and then top with the cake mixture.
Step 3
Bake in a gas 5 oven for about 20-30 minutes until golden on top and a skewer comes out clean.
Eat hot, with custard or cream.
The verdict
I ate mine hot with custard (obviously) and it was very tasty. It's a step away from normal fruity puddings, but if you like bananas and custard you'll love this!
Ooh, finally I've found a blog with nice simple gluten free things to bake!! (I saw your guest post on Polly's Pixie Mama blog).
ReplyDeleteI also can't eat apples, pears, plums etc while raw, but I'm usually ok if they're cooked. My doctor thought I was weird when I was younger, I've since found out it's pollen-food syndrome!
That looks so gorgeous, my mouth is watering. I'm planning on starting you ABC of baking soon - even though i'm on a diet!
