Banana Butterscotch Pecan Cake
Banana Butterscotch Pecan Cake
This Gluten Free Banana Butterscotch Pecan Cake is easy to love. It has delicious layers of Banana Bread Style Cake and Creamy Butterscotch Filling and is topped off with Tasty Candied Pecans. It’s really easy to make and is a great way to use up any over ripe Bananas. If you don’t have 2 round cake pans you could make the Banana Butterscotch Pecan Cake in a large lasagna style pan then ice it in the pan, instead of layering it.

It’s amazing that this cake is made with mostly rice flour. I’ve only really started liking baked stuff after I started a gluten-free diet. I think that other flours, especially whole grains, have so much more character, and have more to offer in terms of depth of flavor.

Looks delish! Have you ever tried it with something other than rice flour? It’s my young son who is the gf one in our house and I try to avoid giving him too much rice.

Thanks Sarah, I haven’t tried it with a different flour yet. I’m sure it would work out great still. What type of flours do you normally use?
