Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3-4 ripe bananas peeled and mashed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes plus more for topping
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- Toasted Coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter & flour a bundt pan, or give a heavy spritz with Bakers Joy cooking spray.
- In mixing bowl, beat butter & sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add in eggs one at a time, beating well in between each addition. Add in mashed bananas and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- stir together flour, baking powder & salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
- Stir in coconut and transfer to prepared pan.
- Bake 60-70 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted halfway between the out edge and center of pan comes out clean.*Note: if it looks like the cake is browning too much on the sides and still needs to go a bit longer for the center, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pan. This will prevent it from sticking to the pan. Once cool, invert cake onto a plate for serving.
Cup of Yum
Glaze
- Whisk together confectioner's sugar and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze immediately on the cake, top with toasted coconut if desired. Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- Feel free to add 1 tsp of coconut extract when you add in the vanilla extract if you'd like to add even more coconut flavor!
- You can also use coconut milk to make the glaze instead of regual milk.
