Banana Cake with Walnuts & Pecans

This super quick and easy banana cake with pecans and walnuts is gluten-free (made with almond and oat flour) and a healthier version of a comfort cake – just what we all need now that fall is soooo close! This is one of my all time favorite cakes and I’ve been making it for years now. It’s everything you want in a cake: fluffy, moist and airy. And with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, all-spice and nutmeg – paired with the pecans and walnuts – it is just perfect for this time of year. Which of course does not stop me from making it all year long… oh no, if you just leave out those spices, this cake will make a great addition to a summer picnic….

Lemon Curd & Almond Coffee Cake

Sugary & Buttery - Lemon Curd & Almond Coffee Cake

Summer vibes are still going strong here in Texas! I’ve been super into lemons and honey this year – for whatever reason – but I have been making honey lemonade on a regular basis and been cooking and baking with honey a ton lately. So after making this super yummy Honey Lemon Curd last week (refined sugar free), I needed to put it to good use… other than spreading it on toast, or, um, spooning it out of the jar. So since a coffee cake was way overdue here, I decided on this (gluten-free) Lemon Curd & Almond Coffee Cake. The recipe is easily turned paleo for anyone interested, simply replace all sugar with either coconut sugar or maple sugar.

These Coconut & Honey Oat Waffles are one of my breakfast staples! So healthy – for a great start in the day – and the combination of honey and coconut is second to none.

Rhubarb Almond Cake (Gluten-free)

Sugary & Buttery - Rhubarb Almond Summer Cake (Gluten-free)

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! I snatched some rhubarb at my local grocery store this weekend (I know, rhubarb season is almost over, lucky me!) so I made this Rhubarb Almond Cake for dessert today. I love rhubarb, it is so tart and almost sour, yet sweet once it’s cooked. It goes best with vanilla and almond (see these Vanilla Bean Polenta Cakes with Rhubarb) so I combined it with a very old almond cake recipe that I’ve had for decades. It is a super simple cake recipe using very few ingredients, and it happens to be gluten-free! It is actually a kind of chiffon cake, you beat the egg yolks and sugar and then fold in beaten egg whites and almond flour to achieve a super airy, fluffy and moist cake….

Sugary & Buttery - Vanilla Bean Polenta Cakes with Rhubarb (gluten-free)

Those polenta cakes, amazing. They are so flavorful and moist with the taste of summer! When you think of polenta cake you usually think of lemon polenta cake, which is a classic. And sure, it does taste really good, the almond and lemon together with the cornmeal result in a nice mediterranean flavor. But its nothing compared to this! The sweetness of the cornmeal with the rich flavor of one whole vanilla bean, paired with the fresh and slightly sour rhubarb is just divine. And gluten-free!

Oh my… I have only 3 words to describe this cake: chocolaty, succulent, divine. It is honestly one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever tasted and it takes no more than 5 ingredients and 15 minutes plus baking time (plus it’s gluten free in case you are allergic). The outcome it the most chocolate loaded, moist (wet!) piece of cake you can imagine. And I promise you: you won’t stop eating until it’s gone.
