Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup mashed bananas
½ cup coconut cream
⅓ cup coconut milk
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons dried lavender flowers
½ cup honey
⅓ cup white sugar
2 ¼ cups gluten-free all purpose baking flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons powdered sugar, or as needed
6 sprigs dried lavender flowers
⅛ teaspoon coconut milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Beat bananas, cream of coconut, coconut milk, eggs, and lavender for cake together in a large bowl. Add honey and sugar while continuing to mix.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Pour mixture slowly into the wet mixture while beating with an electric mixer on low speed.
  • Allow to stand at room temperature to allow lavender flavor to steep into the batter, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • While cake cools, mix powdered sugar, lavender, and coconut milk for glaze together to form a paste that is just thin enough to run off of a spoon. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes before drizzling over completely cooled lavender cake.
