I had it with having to be a scientist and having to try to use all these different gum pastes to try to get the cake, to taste like cake.
And then one day, I remembered a cake we used to call Empty Pantry cake. Many call it dump cake, or depression cake since it uses barely any ingredients. My mom used to make a similar one, when we had a friend with an egg allergy. So, I figured I would do something silly.
My mom sent me over a package of Bob's gluten free flour and away I went. Now, I've made this cake close to twenty times already and I've alternated between butter and bananas. So I'll post the recipe with both and you decide which you rather based on taste preferences. You really don't taste the banana.
