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.

Categories     cakes, dessert

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.

Categories     Cake     Rum     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Cream Cheese     Banana     Coconut     Spring     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

For cake layer
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mashed banana (about 1 large)
3 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
For rum syrup
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
For frosting
1/2 pound cream cheese, softened
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup crisp banana chips

Steps:

  • Make cake layer:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch square, 2-inch deep baking pan and line bottom with wax paper. Butter paper and dust with flour, knocking out excess flour.
  • On a baking sheet toast coconut in the middle of the oven, stirring once, until golden, about 6 minutes.
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl whisk together eggs, bananas, crème fraîche or sour cream, and vanilla.
  • In a bowl of a standing electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in flour and egg mixtures alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating after each addition until batter is smooth, and fold in coconut.
  • Turn batter into pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of pan and invert cake onto rack. Remove wax paper carefully and cool cake completely. Cake layer may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, wrapped in plastic wrap and foil.
  • Make syrup:
  • In a small saucepan bring water and sugar to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and simmer 1 minute. Stir in rum and simmer 1 minute. Cool syrup completely. Syrup may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Make frosting:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in vanilla and pinch salt. In a food processor coarsely grind banana chips and stir into frosting.
  • With serrated knife halve cake layer horizontally and with pastry brush dab cut sides with rum syrup, using it all. Spread half of frosting on cut side of bottom layer and arrange top layer, cut side down, on frosting. Spread remaining frosting on top of cake. Cake may be assembled 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered with an overturned bowl or in a cake keeper.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use ripe bananas and coconut milk. Overripe bananas will give the cake a sweeter, more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a smoother frosting, use a food processor or blender to combine the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  • If you don't have passion fruit, you can use another tropical fruit, such as mango or pineapple, for the frosting.

Conclusion:

This coconut banana cake with passionfruit frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make tropical treat. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is tangy and sweet. This cake is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration.
