BANANA-COCONUT LAYER CAKE



Banana-Coconut Layer Cake image

Don't mistake this impressive layer cake for a modest banana bread. It's a billowing, head-turning dessert covered in white swirls of coconut frosting. Roasting the bananas before mashing them into the batter for intensifies their flavor, while the toasted coconut adds sweetness and crunch. It's best served the day it is made, but will keep, lightly covered and refrigerated, for up to two days.

Time 2h

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray, for pans
6 ripe bananas, unpeeled
2 1/2 cups/213 grams shredded sweetened coconut
4 cups/512 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup/201 grams granulated sugar
3/4 cup/150 grams light brown sugar, lightly packed
6 eggs
1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted
1 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut cream (see Note)
1/2 cup/114 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 1-inch cubes, softened
8 ounces/1 cup/225 grams cream cheese, cut into 8 chunks and softened
1 1/2 cups/185 grams confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon coconut extract, dark rum or vanilla
Pinch of fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray, and line bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Place unpeeled bananas on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until blackened and juices have begun to seep out, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool, then peel and set aside in a bowl. Discard peels, but add any pan juices to the bowl.
  • While bananas are roasting, spread coconut out on another rimmed baking sheet and toast in the same oven until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes, stirring once. Set aside and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix bananas (with juices) until mashed.
  • At low speed, add sugars and mix to combine. Mix in eggs, one at a time, then add butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lime juice. Mix in flour and 1 cup toasted coconut, mixing only until just combined. (Save remaining coconut for topping cake.)
  • Divide batter between prepared pans and bake, rotating halfway through, until top is golden and springs back, 40 to 55 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then unmold and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely.
  • To prepare frosting, open can of coconut cream and scoop 1/2 cup of the solid cream off the top into a measuring cup. Remaining cream can be frozen for up to 6 months.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter until soft and fluffy. Beat in softened cream cheese, one chunk at a time, until mixture is very smooth. Beat in coconut cream and sugar until smooth. Beat in extract and salt. If frosting seems too soft, refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes to help it set (not longer, or it may become too firm to spread).
  • Spread a little less than half the frosting over one cake layer and sprinkle with half the reserved toasted coconut. Top with second layer, spread remaining frosting on top, and sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut, leaving sides of cake bare.

BANANA LIME CAKE



Banana Lime Cake image

Bananas and lime work well together in general evoking tropical flavors. This cake is actually from the UK, from a volume given to me in a cookbook swap. After GEMA's disappointing review, I made this myself and made some minor changes (namely reducing the flour by two tablespoons and adding a tablespoon of yogurt) and clarifying the directions according to preparation in my own kitchen. I found the cake to be a lovely snacking cake perfect as a midday sweet or informal dessert. As a low-fat chef, I was pleased to find the cake had a natural moistness drawn from the bananas, yogurt and raisins.

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 7/8 cups all-purpose flour (2 cups less 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup light brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons lime zest, finely grated
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 large banana, mashed (should measure 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup nonfat yogurt (use banana or vanilla yogurt if you don't have plain)

1/2 teaspoon lime zest, finely grated
1 pinch salt

  • Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder together into a large bowl. Mix in the lime zest and brown sugar. Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • Mash the banana mixing with the lime juice to reduce browning. Pour the banana, lightly beaten egg, and yogurt into the dry ingredients until they are mix. Fold in the golden raisins. Pour using spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan smoothing the surface to even.
  • Bake 40 minutes, testing so that a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean. Note that low-fat cakes suffer more when over-baked, then their conventional higher fat counterparts. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Once the cake is cool, center on serving plate.
  • To prepare icing, sift sugar into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add lime juice one teaspoon at a time until you arrive at your desired consistency for drizzling. Stir in the lime zest. Drizzle on cake as you wish, either randomly or in a pattern.
