What do you do with a bunch of over ripe bananas? You make banana bread or banana cake. This time I decided on a Banana Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting because I also had a box of cream cheese that needed to be used. Not a problem at all as lightly sweetened cream cheese frosting is my kind of frosting.

Do check out my Papaya Banana Smoothie and Kiwi Banana Smoothie. Since the bananas were already quite sweet, there was no need to add any more sugar to the smoothies.

Now, back to this delightful Banana Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. I wanted it to have a tropical flavor and so I added some coconut to the batter. With just dried unsweetened coconut on hand, I had to rehydrate it with some coconut milk while I prepared the rest of the ingredients.

This Banana Coconut Cake can definitely stand on its own but the frosting made it extra special. As soon as it was ready, I had a slice with my afternoon tea. It was good, really good. 🙂 Do give it a try.

    Double up on all the measurements and made one luscious cake. Was absolutely delighted how this cake turned out. My only complaint was it was a little lacking in coconut flavour and I’m wondering if the cows milk could be substituted with coconut milk to give a more coconutty flavour?

      Yes, you can use coconut milk in place of cow’s milk.
