Banana Pineapple And Coconut Cake Recipes

COCONUT AND PINEAPPLE BANANA CAKE (HUMMINGBIRD CAKE)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 355F and line a 8 - 9 inch square (or equivalent) baking pan with baking paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, coconut, and salt in a large bowl.
• Mash the banana in another large bowl, then whisk in the eggs, sugar, oil, pineapple and juice, cinnamon and ginger.
• Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined (take care not to overmix).
• Pour into the baking pan, then bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out more or less clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
• Beat the cream cheese with a hand-held whisk, then slowly whisk in the icing / powdered sugar until you have a thick frosting. Pile on top of the cake (nice and thick!) when the cake is completely cool.

BETTER THAN SEX CAKE (WITH BANANAS, COCONUT, AND PINEAPPLE)

Steps:

• Bake cake in a sheet pan according to directions on the back of the box.
• Combine one cup of sugar with the can of crushed pineapple. Bring to a boil.
• Upon removing the cake from the oven, punch holes all over the top of the cake with a meat fork.
• Pour the hot pineapple mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
• Once the cake has cooled, slice the bananas and layer evenly over the top of the pineapple mixture. (You can dip the banana slices in orange juice to keep them from turning dark.).
• For cake topping, mix together the cream cheese, cool whip, and coconut (I like using the coconut found in the freezer section of the grocery store.) For ease in spreading the topping over the bananas, drop spoonsful of the topping mixture evenly over the cake, then spread to the edges of the cake.
