Banana Dessert Cake

A delicious, sweet, luxurious dessert cake that is gluten free and dairy free! You can also enjoy this as normal cake, which is what my family and i tend to do. On this occasion, i wanted to jazz it up a bit and serve and present the cake in a dessert style.

All i did different was cut a round piece and i added fresh tart raspberries and of course as always, melted dark chocolate, yum!

I would recommend to serve this if you’re having a party or a gathering as one of your tasty sweet treats. You will also love to snack on this cake during your week and it’s also delicious and nutritious for the kids! Who doesn’t love a easy banana cake?!

14. As i have presented it in the photos
15. Using a small or medium sized cookie cutter, cut as many pieces as you desire. I cut the pieces before i put on the frosting, you can also cut them after you have added the frosting.
16. If adding frosting after cutting, use a piping bag with a small round nozzle and pipe small rounds on top of the cake to cover the top.
17. Place a raspberry on top of each piped frosting.
18. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
19. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Cake can be kept in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 1 week.
If you don’t have a piping bag, just use a butter knife to spread the frosting on top of the cake.
Once raspberries and chocolate have been added, it is best served straight away.
The cake with the frosting can be kept in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 1 week.
