A rice flour and banana cake that cooks on the stovetop, no oven needed. A pudding-like sauce made with egg yolk and sugar-free chocolate turns it into a moist, chocolatey dessert. With no added sugar, it is a measured way to handle a sweet craving.
Method
Put the eggs, egg whites and milk in a blender.
Mash the banana with a fork and add it.
Add the rice flour, chia seeds, cocoa and baking powder.
Blend for 45 seconds until smooth, then let the batter rest for 2 minutes.
Add 1 tsp oil to the pan and brush it over the whole surface.
Pour in the batter, cover with a lid and cook over low heat for about 8 minutes.
Once the underside has set, flip the cake and cook the other side for 7–8 minutes.
For the sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a cold saucepan before turning on the heat.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 7–9 minutes until it thickens like pudding.
Pour the sauce over the cake and sprinkle with coconut if you like.

Tips
- Keep the heat low; if you rush it, the outside cooks while the center stays raw.
- Mixing the sauce ingredients while cold keeps the starch from clumping.
- A sprinkle of shredded coconut pairs very well with the chocolate sauce.
