  4. Beat on low speed until just moistened.

  6. Gently stir in mashed banana (2 ripe, medium), chopped pecans (1 cup), shredded coconut (1 cup, sweetened), and maraschino cherries (½ cup, drained).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
