Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free or all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 ripe bananas)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 8 tablespoons butter (for toffee sauce)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed, for toffee sauce)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (for toffee sauce)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for toffee sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a suitable baking dish (an 8×8 inch or a similar-sized dish works wonderfully).
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter. Beat them together until fluffy and smooth.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, maple syrup, and mashed bananas. Mix until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine the wet and dry mixtures until just blended. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the cake is golden and set in the center.
- While the cake bakes, prepare the toffee sauce by combining the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla in a saucepan. Heat until melted and smooth.
Notes
Allow the cake to absorb the toffee sauce for at least an hour before serving. Best enjoyed warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream.
