Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/2 cup white rice flour
  • 1/2 cup corn starch
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sunflower oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Nuts (optional)
  • Dulce de leche (optional)
  • Shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a loaf pan or line with parchment paper. I used a loaf pan 9x5-inch. Set aside.
  • Whisk buckwheat flour, white rice flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In another bowl beat the sugar with the oil. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
  • Mash the bananas with a fork and add to the preparation.
  • Add the dry ingredients along with the milk. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated. Add walnuts if desired.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until cooked, keep in mind that all ovens are different. To know if it's ready insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, it should come out with no streaks of batter.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then lift out by the parchment paper.
  • When completely cooled spread dulce de leche on the surface and sprinkle with shredded coconut.

Notes

  • Store the cake at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it, it's better if you slice it up before freezing so you don’t need to defrost the entire cake.
