Tip

  1. * If cake still looks wet after this time reduce the temperature to 140 C and cook for a further 10 to 20 minutes. 
  2. * If cake is over browning but still wet, place a sheet of aluminium foil on top to slow down the browning process.
  3. * Wait 10 minutes before turning out of the cake tin.
  4. * The amount of cinnamon powder can be increased or decreased according to personal taste.
  5. * I decrease the amount of caster sugar I use the more dates I add.
  6. * Icing sugar is optional for sprinkling on the cake once cooled!

    Made this yesterday, was a little disappointed as we found it very dry and not real flavoursom.
    Had to warm it up to get some moisture back into it.was a little disappointed.
    Verdict was not to give a second go.

    This is soooo delicious. I think you could easily cut the amount of sugar down. I made into mini muffins and cooked for 20mins

    Delicious and with a great texture! I didn't bother setting aside after step 1 and it still turned out fine. I used less sugar and only had two bananas. Awesome recipe with a bit of room for swapping and changing without causing it to fail. It's in my collection for sure  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by GJOESQ on 15. May 2016 - 13:15.

    Very nice recipe but the method was a bit convoluted.  Perhaps, after chopping the dates on speed 7 for 5 seconds, just add all the ingredients and mix with the backwards blade on speed 6 for ten seconds or so.  Make sure the sides are scraped down and mixed in.  It's much easier to do it this way.  tmrc_emoticons.-)

  • Great super easy recipe.

    Submitted by saxonwoman on 19. March 2016 - 09:12.

    Great super easy recipe. Can't go wrong! I love that the dates add most of the sweetness with much less refined sugar than most cake recipes. I made it for sausage sizzle at school and all the kids loved it - even the ones who aren't gluten-free. Will definetely add to my collection. Thanks   tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by Amajjika on 14. June 2015 - 07:47.

    An easy and forgiving recipe.  I used panella and pulverised it at the beginning and so the sequence of my steps was out because I didn't feel like putting it aside tmrc_emoticons.;) It turned out beautifully.  I could imagine putting it into ramekins and cooking it bain marie and serving with custard when warm. 

    Definitely a recipe that is good on its own but customisable for preferences. I'll be making this one again!

    I accidently forgot to add the milk, but it so turned it beautiful and fluffy. Phew! I added walnuts to the top, and swapped caster sugar for coconut sugar. Yum!

    Absolutely delicious. Loved by everyone. I added some walnuts. I used 50g rapadura instead of 80g castor sugar. I will definately make it again. So moist.

  • This GF Banana cake is tasty.

    Submitted by jj72rocks on 23. April 2014 - 01:54.

    This GF Banana cake is tasty. As mentioned you could adjust sugar/ dates. I put 30g less of sugar because it had vanilla essence and dates, was worried it could be sweet. I had literally a few walnuts, so added them in too and 1/4 tspn nutmeg. Nice texture, not too sweet and great with a spread of butter and a cuppa! Can't say what it would be like after a couple of days, but seems a really nice texture for a gf cake on day 1.  tmrc_emoticons.)
