Instructions

8 steps

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heavily spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.

In a skillet, add the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and cinnamon. Stir together for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Pour this mixture down into the cake pan. Arrange sliced bananas in one even layer in the bottom of the pan on top of this first layer.

In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir together.

Then, add in the remaining cake ingredients. Stir to combine.

Pour the cake batter on top of the bananas. Spread into one even layer.

Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. It may take a bit longer, depending on how hot your oven is and the size of your pan.

Cool the cake for 30 minutes before carefully inverting the cake onto a plate or cake pan. The bananas and topping will be gooey. Finally, slice and serve.
