TROPICAL PINEAPPLE BANANA CAKE
All of my favorite tropical ingredients in one cake. It is my favorite cake for summer. It is unbelievably moist and tasty. I hope you get a chance to try it and share it with your family and friends. If you don't want to use macadamia nuts - pecans or walnuts will work and be tasty too (: Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In your mixer cream butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, mashed banana, pineapple, vanilla and banana extracts, sour cream. Mix on low until well combined.

TROPICAL BANANA CAKE
I had some bananas sitting on the counter that needed to be baked into something, so I decided to make a cake. I didn't have any cream cheese to make a regular frosting, so I used the broiled frosting recipe my om had given me. Very easy, good flavors together. Makes a nice rustic presentation if you do it in layers. I included the cooling time in the prep time.

TROPICAL ISLAND BANANA CAKE
Steps:
- Place 1 cake, wide side down, on a serving platter. Stir frosting and banana extract in a large bowl to blend. Stir in yellow food coloring, 1 drop at a time, until desired color is achieved. Transfer 1/2 cup of banana frosting to a medium bowl; stir in mashed banana. Spread mashed banana mixture over top of cake. Cut 1 (2-inch wide) wedge from second cake. Spread 1/4 cup of yellow frosting over cut ends of second cake. Bring cut ends of second cake together, pressing to adhere. Place second cake, wide side down, atop cake on platter. Tear cut cake wedge into cubes. Fill hole in center of cakes with cake cubes. Spread remaining yellow frosting evenly over top and sides of cake to coat completely. Sprinkle cake with coconut, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Create an island "volcano" mold by shaping aluminum foil into a volcano shape, measuring 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Dip in melted chocolate and let cool and harden. Place the mold on top of the cake. Fill the center of the mold with green icing and smooth out. Place palm tree decoration inside the mold. Arrange fruit-shaped candy decoratively around the palm tree and base of cake.
Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cake, use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will give the cake a sweeter flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take around 50-60 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
