It’s a very special day today for us here at Lucas Lifestyle, It’s our babies 10^th birthday. That’s right people we now have all our children in double digits. Not only is it our babies 10^th it’s also her grandfathers 70^th in 2 more days. So celebrations  galore was to be had for the whole day.

1  cup Sugar

1 cup Gluten free SR Flour

½ tsp xantham / gare Gum

½ tsp salt

1 ¾ cup egg white

1 ½ tsp cream of tartar

• Preheat your oven to 175 degrees.
• Place the Sugar into the TM bowl and grind for 30 sec / speed 7.
• Place the Butterfly into the TM bowl and then add the flour, salt and gum and aerate speed 3 / 30 sec.
• Carefully place your flour sugar mix into a separate bowl and set aside.
• You now have to clean out your TM bowl but please do this with a dry cloth to get all the flour out so that it doesn’t contaminate the egg whites.
• Insert the Butterfly into the TM bowl, followed by the egg whites, water and cream of tartar. Beat with the MC off 50 degrees / 3 -5 min / speed 4.

Well it’s been a big couple of days for us in the red center (Alice Springs & Ayers Rock). We’ve traveled from Cairns through to Alice Springs where we spent nearly a full day and stayed overnight. While in Alice Springs I made this most wonderful banana and ginger cake for our stay out at Ayers Rock. When I make this cake again I will be adding some grated fresh ginger to the recipe, I don’t think it was quite gingery enough for my likings. When you have made it let me know your thoughts on adding more ginger!  Sorry I didn’t get a chance to take any photos but my locusts (children) ate it all while I wasn’t looking

BANANA GINGER CAKE

4 bananas mashed

1/4 cup coconut oil, liquified

4 room temp eggs

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp ginger powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

1 cup coconut flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

Before you mix the ingredients get your cake tin ready and grease it with coconut oil.

Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix. Place the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake. In my air oven it took about 50min at 175degrees.
