Delight in this delicious and flavorful Banana Teff Cake. Made with teff flour, it is naturally gluten-free and filled with the sweetness of bananas. Teff, an ancient grain, provides essential amino acids and 7 grams of protein per serving. The nutty flavor of teff enhances the taste, making this cake a delicious dessert for any occasion.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 340˚F, and generously butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan + 1 small one.
  2. Whisk (or sift) together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweeteners, olive oil, banana purée, and eggs.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined (adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients helps to prevent little dry pockets in the bottom of the bowl).
  5. Fold in the chopped chocolate or nuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 75 to 90 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in its pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  8. Run an icing spatula or a thin knife carefully around the edges, and invert the cake from the pan. Re-invert the cake so that it is right-side-up and let cool on the rack for another 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
