Coconut Banana Cake With Passionfruit Frosting image

This is an old Aussie favourite, but tastes so good with the special frosting. My 4 year old doesn't just lick the frosting off, but eats the whole cake ... which makes a change!

This cake is the perfect way to use up overripe bananas. It's moist and flavorful, and the frosting is a perfect complement.

I'm not a big fan of passionfruit, but I still really enjoyed this cake. The coconut and banana flavors were very prominent.

This cake was a total disaster. It didn't rise properly and the frosting was too runny.
