Cocoa, coconut and bananas make a great combination for the taste buds
so...I wanted to try baking a brownie cake that would finish off...
an evening of listening to a reading of the Gospel of Matthew with my husband
because I must be gluten free...
I did make this cake with gluten-free flour
but, it can be made using the same recipe with regular flour
ingredients
(this will make 6 3x3 inch size servings...double recipe for more)
1 cup of flour (any good gluten free mix of your choice)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking powder (omit if your mix already has it)
1/4 tsp sea salt (omit if your mix already has it)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup of pecan or walnut pieces
2 bananas, mashed
2 large eggs, beaten
6 TB butter, melted
2 TB honey
heat up the oven to 350* F
butter and flour, with a bit of the cocoa, the baking pan
combine the wet ingredients, including the bananas, and mix together well
combine the dry ingredients, mix well
stir in the nut pieces into the dry mix
this will help the nuts from sinking or collecting in lumps in the dough
fold the dry mix into the wet mix, gently combining everything well
use a spatula to pour into the pan and spread the dough evenly
put into the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes
check at 25 minutes with a knife inserted into the middle
if it comes out clean, it is finished
if not, let it bake another 5 to 7 minutes
enjoy!
May your day or night be sweetened in God's grace.
