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.

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.
