Ingredients
  

  • 200 g Schar gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup coconut sugar or regular sugar if you don't have coconut sugar
  • ½ cup grapeseed oil + more for greasing the tray
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • Frosting
  • 6 ripe bananas sliced
  • 2 Tbsps psyllium husks
  • 2 Tbsps carob powder
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 2 tsps rum extract
  • 4-5 Tbsps honey or other healthy sweetener of choice
  • Syrup and other ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • ½ glass water
  • fruits: 1 canned sliced pineapple 1 cup mixed berries
  • a few Tbsps of almond flakes optional
  • a few Tbsps of raw chocolate flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven at 356F/180C.
  • Grease the sweet bread tray with some oil. The sizes of my tray are approx. 10cm x 30cm.
  • Separate egg yolks from the egg whites.
  • Whisk egg whites until foamy. Add sea salt.
  • Whisk egg yolks with coconut/caster sugar, oil, vanilla extract and baking powder. Slowly add flour and incorporate. Add foamy egg white. Mix using a spatula.
  • Pour the composition in the greased tray.
  • Put it in the oven and let it bake for 45-50 minutes.

Frosting:

  • Add all ingredients in your food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Do not use water!

Syrup:

  • Combine honey with water.

Assembly:

  • Slice cake crust in two. It may have a small bump on the top, so slice that too. The layers should be smooth and straight.
  • Put one cake layer on a cake platter. Slowly pour syrup evenly on top of it. Use half the quantity.
  • Add some frosting. Spread evenly. Add some pineapple slices and most of the berries. Save some for decorating.
  • Cover with the other cake layer. Add syrup all over it, like you did before.
  • Spread the frosting all over the cake, on top and on sides. Use a blunt knife to spread it evenly.
  • Decorate with berries and pineapple on top and almond flakes/raw chocolate flakes on the sides.
