BANANA COCONUT CAKE WITH LEMON ICING 🧁 INGREDIENTS * 3 eggs * 100g caster sugar * 50g brown sugar * 1 vanilla pod, split, seeds scraped or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste * 150ml olive or neutral vegetable oil * 1 cup (70g) shredded coconut, plus extra to sprinkle * 270g self-raising flour, sifted * 3 mashed ripe bananas (about 300g total) * 200ml buttermilk LEMON ICING * Finely grated zest & juice of 1 lemon * 2 1/4 cups (270g) pure icing sugar, sifted, plus extra if needed METHOD 1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 21cm round cake pan with butter and line base and side with baking paper. 2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugars together until pale and light. Add vanilla and drizzle in the oil, whisking to combine. Alternately, and in small batches, add the shredded coconut, flour, banana and buttermilk, mixing well between each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for a few minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. 3. For the icing, combine the lemon zest and juice with the icing sugar, whisking until smooth. The icing should be runny enough to pour but thick enough to cover the cake. Add more sugar to thicken if needed. Pour icing over the cake and generously scatter with extra shredded coconut to serve.
