Grain-free Gluten-free Paleo cakes to DIE for!!!!!

This is a quick post folks. I have been exploring grain-free cooking and noticing that a growing trend is the use of plantain flour, cassava flour and coconut flour and joy, oh joy, Saint Lucia is now producing a range of grain-free flours that are superb quality - totally natural and fresh! 

But try as I might, I was not getting the results I wanted - except with a few cases, which I've posted here already (links at the bottom). Then this last week I decided I'd just search for the kind of cake I wanted - forget Paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, AIP, IBS and all those protocols and just look for the result I want! (DUH!) 

Not my best photo, but DAMN they taste GOOD!!!

So two cakes later, I must share. EVERYONE who's tasted them has RAVED about the results. So here are the recipes:

I did everything the same except I used brown sugar and the following flour ratios

Banana Cake:

Coconut flour 1 1/2 cups

Macabou flour (or plantain for persons overseas) 1 cup

Cassava flour 1/2 cup

Brownies

Coconut flour about 1/4 cup

Macabou flour about 3/8 cup

Cassava flour about 1/8 cup

It's as simple as that!!!

Now let me just plug the wonderful businesses producing flours and coconut products in Saint Lucia - many are available already in our supermarkets, but for those that aren't, perhaps we can request them enough that they will be soon - in the meantime, contact the producers directly and let them know I sent you to them please :)
