Flourless Chocolate Banana Cake (Gluten Free)

I for one am not a huge chocolate fan. I could go months without chocolate; but my husband loves chocolate! Lately he has been wanting chocolate cake with ice cream every evening. He has devoured the Vegan Chocolate Cake that I posted last week so here is another new one for him to try.

The cake is Gluten Free but not Vegan (contains eggs) but is Dairy-Free!!!

This recipe is from an awesome lady, Elana Amsterdam. She lives in Boulder and is the author of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. Check out her blog: Elana's Pantry.

Serves 4-6

Elana suggests topping this cake with whipped cream or sliced bananas.

I suggest topping it with a Vegan Chocolate or Vanilla frosting!

Ingredients:

3 large eggs, separated

1/2 cup agave nectar

1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/4 cup grapeseed oil

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)

1/2 cup cocoa powder

In a blender, whip the egg yolks, agave nectar, and salt on medium for one to two minutes. Add the grapeseed oil and banana, and blend for another minute or two. Blend in the cocoa powder. In a bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold the contents of the blender into the egg whites. Pour the batter into a greased, 9 -inch springform pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
