Way to elevate a cake…top it with coconut cream and caramel. A super easy banana sheet cake, lightly nutty, made with oat and almond flour, it’s the perfect satisfying light yet luxurious piece of cake to pair with a cup of you’re afternoon warm beverage of choice…or perhaps wherever you are in the world you’ve now entered the iced coffee and tea time of year!
This cake is all kinds of delicious, with Nature’s Charm coconut whipped cream and a generous drizzle of their salted coconut caramel sauce over the top. I was going for a bit of a banoffee style combination; I couldn’t resist a few chopped salted peanuts on top and chocolate chips to bounce off the sauce caramel and sweet coconut topping!
