As a whole it looks pretty on your favorite cake stand but each individual slice also looks gorgeous as well with the many layers.

Years ago, my family and I used to enjoy a tasty black bottom pie from one of our favorite local restaurants, Snake Creek Grill in Utah. After going gluten-free both my mom and I missed this dessert so much. We just couldn’t handle not ever having it again.

Thank goodness for me, my mom created this delectable gluten-free black bottom pie rendition. It certainly ends up being much cheaper than the $7 a slice we used to pay for it which is a plus. This is definitely a dessert we all ask for often. This gluten-free banana black bottom pie is rich, decadent and oh so delicious!

  62. Holy moly that looks delicious! If I were to win I would definitely make my Nana’s better than “everything’ cake first. She passed away last year and her baking and cooking was out of this world. I would definitely try out her cake which we both loved making together!
