Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the mashed bananas and mix thoroughly.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped pecans and dried coconut meat gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the lemon juice and continue to beat until the icing is light and creamy.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese icing evenly over the top of the cake using a spatula.
- Slice the cake, serve, and enjoy the delightful blend of banana, pecans, coconut, and cream cheese icing.
Tips:
- Ensure the bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor. Overripe bananas with brown spots are perfect for this recipe.
- For a chunkier texture, you can mash one banana and slice the other before mixing them into the batter.
- Make sure to bring the cream cheese to room temperature before making the icing; this will make it easier to blend smoothly.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease the baking pan thoroughly with butter or use parchment paper.
- Let the cake cool completely before applying the cream cheese icing to avoid melting and to ensure a smooth finish.
- To add a decorative touch and extra crunch, sprinkle a few chopped pecans or a dusting of coconut meat on top of the finished cake.
By following these steps and tips, you’ll create a banana cake with cream cheese icing that is moist, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. This bake is not only delicious but also brings a sense of home and comfort with each bite. Enjoy your baking and, most importantly, savor the delightful results!
