This cake will also go down in my mind as the Quarantine Pumpkin Cake. Why?
Remember back in the beginning of the pandemic when everyone was making banana bread? Well I do, and maybe that’s because I never really stopped.
This cake is a combination of my favorite two quick breads, banana and pumpkin, in bundt form. It’s perfectly moist and tender and makes as good of a snack as it does a breakfast or brunch.
This makes a delicious dessert with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze. I left it off as I truly wanted this to be a blank canvas that you can eat any time of day.
Oh, and did I mention it’s gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free?
“What else can I use?”
Feel free to use all purpose flour for entire 2 3/4 cups of flour if you are good with gluten. If using gluten free flour, I like to use Cup 4 Cup or Bob’s Red Mill GF blends as they are very comparable to all purpose.
You want a light, neutral tasting olive oil for this. If you don’t have that, feel free to use canola oil instead.
If you don’t have coconut sugar, you can substitute brown sugar or granulated sugar.
