For the third day of coconut flour recipes, I have a delicious cake which is low carb and filling. As usual the batter has eggs as I am not very good at baking with out eggs in the low carb recipes. I haven’t still found a way to substitute three or four eggs. The best part is that this recipe doesn’t have any sugar added to it. Not even sugar substitutes. Banana is a wonderful sweetener and gives a nice texture in cakes. So when I started experimenting with this recipe, I added a small banana first. For me it was too sweet, but my daughter found it mildly sweet. So when I made it for her I increased the number to two. It was perfect for her. I don’t make this often, just for some celebrations like our anniversary, hubby’s birthday or any other special occasions.
Usually when I make single serving cakes, I microwave them to make the job easier. That is how I made it first, but then I wanted to try baking the cake. So the next time I made it, I baked it in my OTG and loved it so much. Nothing can beat the colour and texture of a oven baked cake. After trying the baked version, I am now partial to it. So hereafter, I will be baking the cakes for occasions. I have included both versions here and you can see how different they look both inside and outside. But the positive of MW is that it is done in 3 minutes and you can make it when you need a quick treat.

Hi Gayathri,
Can I use dessicated coconut?
No, desiccated coconut is different from coconut flour.
Can we get coconut flour in the local grocery store.
No. I usually source it on amazon
Oh my, that coconut flour banana cake looks absolutely amazing — so soft and fluffy. Can’t believe that it has only 2tbsp of flour. Good one Gayathri.
Both version looks fabulous, however i like the oven baked cake.. And you rock with your coconut flour dishes Gayathri.. Seriously u rock gal.. Keep going and share all your delightful low carb dishes with us.
I too am partial towards OTG baked cakes. Though the MW version is quick, the browning onthe cake is only from OTG baking. The cake is so fit for celebrations and looks so good Gayathri.
That eggs must add the lovely texture you got. The cake cooks lovely with that colorful rose petal and pistachio garnish.
While I am always partial on MW cakes, I too love the OTG texture and won’t mind baking when I have time..when time is short and you want quick satiation, MW is the answer..love your cake’s texture and looks..enjoyed reading coconut flour recipes gayathri!
what a beautiful looking cake with that garnish – now whenever I see coconut flour in the market, I immediately think of you 🙂
Oven baked cakes do have a great texture but sometimes microwave comes to rescue for smaller batch. Love the texture of the cake.
Rose petals have lifted the looks of this healthy and delicious coconut banana cake.
You rock girl. I loved all your recipes with coconut flour and this one is above all of them. What a texture of the cake. Simply awesome.
Wow gayathri, the texture is beautiful, love the rose petal garnish, looks very pretty!
