Time 1h5m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup canola oil or other neutral oil, such as sunflower or grapeseed oil, plus more for greasing
1/2 cup millet flour
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/3 cup tapioca starch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon guar gum
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Brown Sugar Whipped Cream, recipe follows
1 pint heavy cream
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped out

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 10 four-ounce ramekins and place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk the millet flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt and guar gum together in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the oil into the bowl in a thin stream while whisking constantly. Add the buttermilk, peanut butter and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until the batter comes together; scrape the bottom of the bowl to make sure all of the flour is incorporated.
  • Pour batter into each ramekin, filling each two-thirds full. Bake the ramekins on the baking sheet until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature with Brown Sugar Whipped Cream.
  • Combine the cream, brown sugar, salt and vanilla bean seeds in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high speed until the mixture holds firm peaks, about 5 minutes. Makes about 4 cups.
