Instructions

Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350º F (175º C) and grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into bowl and set aside. In large mixing bowl, cream together butter and both sugars for a few minutes until light and fluffy, then add eggs and continue to mix.
  • Next, add mashed bananas, yogurt and buttermilk and mix well.
  • Add dry ingredients, and stir until combined, then stir in the coconut.
  • Spoon batter into prepared bundt tin.
  • Place into preheated oven, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until tester comes out clean.After about 10 minutes, remove cake from pan and place on cooling rack.
  • Coconut Icing:
  • After the cake has cooled, mix the confectioner's sugar, coconut oil and milk until a smooth consistency is reached and the icing slowly runs down the cake without all dripping off.
  • While the icing is still wet, sprinkle with the shredded coconut.
  • Allow the icing to set, then serve; I might add that this banana coconut bundt cake is just perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
