How to Make Banana Rum Cake Gluten Free
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and oil; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the rum and vanilla extract.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
