Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple will give your cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
- Toast the coconut before adding it to the batter. Toasting the coconut will bring out its flavor and add a nice crunch to the cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked all the way through.
