Best 10 Coconut Walnut Banana Cream Cheese Cake Recipes

BANANA COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Cake:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 9-inch cake pans. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well in between each addition, and continue to beat until very light and fluffy. Add buttermilk and mashed banana and mix well. In a separate bowl, sift and dry ingredients together (flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder), then add to batter and mix at low speed on the electric mixer until moistened. Beat one minute at medium speed, then fold in pecans and pour batter evenly into the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After removing the cakes from the oven, allow them to cool for five minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Assemble when thoroughly cooled.
• Coconut Custard:
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cut another piece of parchment to the same size. Set both aside. Combine the coconut milk and milk and stir together. In a bowl, mix 2/3 cup of sugar with 1/3 cup cornstarch and stir with a fork until free from lumps. Mix the sugar and cornstarch together with the egg yolks and 1 cup of coconut milk mixture. Whisk until smooth and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, bring the remaining coconut milk mixture to a boil. Pour it into the bowl with the egg yolk-sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium flame and continue stirring. Cook until small bubbles start to form on the surface of the custard. Remove from the heat and spread onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the top of the custard with the other sheet of parchment to prevent a skin from forming. Cool in the refrigerator.
• To Assemble Cake:
• In a large bowl, gently toss banana slices with the lemon juice, and sugar. Trim the top of the first layer of cake so that the surface is level, then spread with a thin layer of custard. Place bananas completely over bottom layer, so that no cake is showing. Spread with another layer of coconut custard. Place next cake layer on top of this and spread the top generously with coconut custard. Garnish liberally with toasted coconut flakes.

COCONUT WALNUT BANANA CREAM CHEESE CAKE

Steps:

• Cake Before beginning, make sure all ingredients are room temperature except the buttermilk that you want to be ice cold. With an electric beater, cream the margarine and shortening. Add sugar and beat until mixture is smooth. Add egg yolks and beat well. Combine flour and soda and add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in vanilla. Add coconut and nuts. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites*. *Add ½ teaspoon of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt to egg whites. This helps stabilize the peaks. Pour into 3 greased and floured (8 inch) pans or two (9 inch) pans. Bake at 350 degrees until done, approximately 25 minutes. Cool. Cover with icing. Add carmelized bananas between layers. Cream cheese filling Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add ½ lb of sugar and mix well. (Add more sugar according to your taste.) Add vanilla and nuts and beat until smooth. Spread on cake and sprinkle with nuts. This will keep in refrigerator for days. Carmelized Bananas Heat butter and sugar ina pan until soft ball (180 degrees and clear). As carmel starts to form from clear toward brown on outer edges of the pan, add bananas. Don't let the bananas get too brown as the goal is to have them cooked as white as possible. Cook on high heat and reduce enough that bananas do not disintegrate. Remove from heat completely when bananas are cooked but still firm enough to hold shape. Let cool. Roast walnuts Preheat oven to 350 and put into oven. Check on them every two minutes because they burn very easily.
