Ingredients for Banana Pineapple And Coconut Cake

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups mashed ripe bananas
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Crushed Pineapple
  • Sweetened condensed milk (for drizzling)

How to Make Banana Pineapple And Coconut Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch fluted or tube pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup coconut milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups mashed ripe bananas and 1 ½ cups crushed pineapple (drained).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, drizzle generously with sweetened condensed milk and serve. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
