There’s something deeply comforting about banana and chocolate together. Maybe it’s the nostalgic flavor, or the way it feels both indulgent and humble at the same time. But take that cozy banana flavor, layer it with deep cocoa tones, shower it with chocolate chips, and crown it all with a rich, buttery crumble — and what you get is something entirely next-level. Enter the Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Crumb Cake, a dessert that’s part comfort food, part showstopper, and entirely unforgettable.🍫🍌

This Gluten-Free New Jersey-Style Crumb Cake isn't just an attempt to imitate the traditional version; it becomes it. From the moment you slice into it, you’re greeted with the familiar resistance of golden-brown crumbs, followed by the soft, fluffy give of the cake underneath. For anyone who thought going gluten-free meant giving up bakery favorites, this crumb cake is here to challenge everything you thought you knew. 😍

There’s something inherently magical about a red velvet cake. The way its velvety crumb melts in your mouth, the rich, slightly tangy flavor that dances on your taste buds, and the contrast between the deep red color and the luscious white cream cheese frosting—it’s a dessert that never fails to leave an impression. But what makes this small-batch red velvet sheet cake with fluffy cream cheese icing better than any other? It's all about the perfect balance of flavor, texture, and visual appeal that will make anyone who tastes it go back for seconds.

At the heart of this cake is a beautiful marriage of flavors—subtle cocoa, sweetness, and a tangy edge from the cream cheese frosting. Red velvet cake has a unique flavor profile that's difficult to describe but impossible to forget. The cocoa powder brings a deep, chocolatey richness without overwhelming the cake’s other flavors, while the slight tang from the sour milk and vinegar cuts through the sweetness, creating a balance that’s both indulgent and refreshing.

I’ve always wanted to make a fresh strawberry sheetcake ever since I came up with our Texas Sheet Cake recipe. While that cake is rich, fudgy, and delicious, I wanted to make an alternative that was lighter and less intense for the summer time. We’ve been experimenting with this recipe ever since the Barbie movie came out - the first trial of the cake was actually decked out in Barbie decor! That first version was a bit too sweet though and tasted a bit artificial, but, like I said, we’ve been perfecting it ever since!
