Easy Banana Coconut Bundt Cake with Creamy Coconut Glaze
1 cup of canola oil
1-1/4 cups of sugar
3 ½ cups of sifted flour
4 ripe medium bananas
2/3 cup of buttermilk or sour milk
1 tablespoon of baking powder, leveled
1 teaspoon of baking soda, leveled
½ teaspoons of almond extract
1 teaspoon of vanilla
4 large eggs
1 cup of grated coconut flakes
Creamy Coconut Glaze:
1/4 cup of grated coconut flakes
2 tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon of softened butter
½ cups of confectioners’ sugar
1- ½ teaspoons of vanilla
To Prepare the Banana Coconut Bundt Cake:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, mashed bananas, and eggs and cream briefly with your electric mixer.
- Add two cups of the sifted flour and the baking powder next and combine into the moist ingredients.
- Pour some of the sour milk or buttermilk that you stirred in the baking soda along with the extracts, alternating with the remaining flour and one cup of grated coconut until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased nine-inch tube pan.
- Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 55 to 60 minutes, depending on how your oven is regulated. Test with a cake tester or slender knife to see if anything sticks for determining doneness.
