Banana Coconut Cake Recipe

The cake is light and fluffy, and balanced by layers of airy whipped cream chocolate frosting, then smothered in rich dark chocolate ganache. And there’s coconut too – in the cake and as decoration.

Honestly, this is not the easiest or quickest cake in the world to bake and assemble but it is certainly worth the effort.

The balance is perfect; not one element outshines another, which is pretty impressive given you are dealing with strong flavours like banana, chocolate and coconut.

And it looks so amazingly good too!
