  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 large bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup teff flour
  • 1/2 cup sweet white rice flour
  • 1/2 cup sorghum or brown rice flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Combine butter and cane and turbinado sugars in a large bowl; beat with a mixer on medium speed just until creamed. Beat in eggs, sour cream and vanilla; stir in mashed bananas.

  3. Combine the teff flour, rice flour, sorghum flour, tapioca flour, almond meal, cocoa powder, cinnamon, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

  4. Fold the flour mixture into the wet batter with a spatula, 1/4 cup at a time, until everything is just mixed together.

  5. Scrape the dough into a buttered and floured (with white rice flour) 9-inch round cake pan.

  6. Cover the surface of the dough with the demerara sugar.

  7. Bake until a knife inserted gently into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

  8. Cool in the pan 5-10 minutes; unmold on a wire rack.
