  • 2 cups gluten-free rice flour
  • 1 cup milk (about 240 ml)

    Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a baking tin generously.

    Pour the batter into the greased tin and spread it evenly.

  4. 4

    Slice the remaining 4 bananas into rounds and arrange them over the top of the batter.

💡 Chef's Tip

The riper your bananas (spotted skin), the sweeter and more fragrant the cake. Swap soybean oil for any neutral oil, or cut back on the sugar a little if your bananas are very sweet. It keeps for 3 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge.
