This Gluten-Free Chocolate Fudge Banana Upside Down Cake is something to talk about. So much deliciousness throughout, not only the amazing chocolate fudge banana topping but there are chunks of melted chocolate throughout the cake. Seriously, what’s not to love? So here is the thing, I wanted to make this cake healthy-ish, so I used bananas for part of the sweetness and mostly olive oil for the fats. Then I added pure cocoa and some chocolate chunks, very simple. Once the cake was baked, I flipped it out, and the cake was topped with the most delicious chocolate fudge banana topping.

This is one of those gluten-free desserts that you can have for breakfast or a snack, add a dollop of ice cream, and it is a stunning dessert! But if this dessert is not for you, check out our favourite gluten-free dessert recipes here->
