The Best Gluten Free Banana Cake-So Light and Moist

I have just made a gluten free banana cake
It is superb, I’m so impressed 
It’s light and moist. Yummo

My experience with Gluten Free, is not always great but this recipe...Wow
Perfect for lunch. Soup of course as it is a ghastly day here in Auckland
One of my Granddaughters is not good with wheat. 
We usually bake with Spelt flour.
I'd run out and its not easy to find so, instead, I bought Edmonds Gluten Free Self Raising Flour 
On the packet there is a recipe for Banana cake
In the fruit bowl , there were some well ripened bananas
So I thought I'd whip one up

What a find, I will definitely make this again
Its a one pot wonder as well
Delightful
 

125g butter cubed
3/4 Cup brown sugar firmly packed 
1 tsp vanilla
1 Cup mashed bananas (2 large ripe bananas)
1 egg , lightly beaten 
2 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 Edmonds Gluten Free self raising flour 

 
Pre-heat oven to 170C conventional...150C fan
Grease and line a 20cm square tin

Put butter, sugar and vanilla into a medium saucepan
Stir over moderate heat till melted
Remove from heat 

Stir bananas into mix
Add egg, flour and milk

Pour mixture into prepared cake tin, smooth surface
Bake for 30 minutes or until skewer inserted comes out clean
Cool in tin for 10 minutes

I iced it with an orange butter icing 
1 Cup icing sugar
2 Large tablespoons butter
Zest of a medium orange and juice of half of it


Mix the butter and Icing sugar then 

add juice till you get a spreading consistency

Ice your cake, you wont be disappointed
