Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free or all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter (for toffee sauce)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed (for toffee sauce)
  • ¾ cup heavy cream (for toffee sauce)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for toffee sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a deep baking dish or a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick spray.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, buttermilk, maple syrup, and mashed bananas until fully combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the toffee sauce by melting butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until mixed, then slowly add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, bringing to a gentle simmer and thickening for 3-5 minutes.
  9. Once the cake is baked, poke holes in it using a skewer and pour the cooled toffee sauce over the top while it’s still warm.
  10. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
