I started watching Suits and I love it. I planned on it being my workout show and it was working out okay at first, but then one night my foot was bothering me and nothing was on that we wanted to watch so… I put Suits on. Bad idea, because I got the Mr hooked on it and now I can’t use that as my workout show or he’ll be bummed I watched without him.

It’s a good show. You should watch it if you haven’t yet. Free via Amazon Prime!

But because I’m now out a workout show, I want your suggestions. Any amazing shows I need to catch up on? Preferably that are available on Amazon since we don’t do Netflix streaming.

Also, I’d really like to stop complaining about the weather. So if someone could please let Mother Nature know that it’s May… nearly June even and it should be bright sunny and warm, that’d be awesome.

I’m ready for it. You know…sun, warmth and Summer like days, even though technically we have weeks to go before that’s official. I’m over the early Spring like weather. Agree?

I have other recipes ready to share with you and I was *this* close to sharing something totally different, but then I couldn’t. I really wanted to share this one. It was so good I couldn’t wait. You need it in your life. And because the weekend will be here before we know it, that means brunching and snacking and hanging out with friends and family so… you need a great recipe for all of that! So, here you go!

Super moist banana bundt cake with sweetened shredded coconut throughout. This flavorful cake is then topped off with a tart lime glaze and a sprinkle of zest. By far one of my favorite banana dishes to date.

If you love banana baked goods, then you definitely need this coconut banana bundt cake in your life.

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Cake

Servings: 14

Ingredients

1/4 C unsalted butter softened
1 C granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 C mashed banana roughly 3 bananas
1/4 C plain low fat yogurt
1/2 tsp rum extract optional
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 C shredded sweetened coconut
1 C white whole wheat flour
1 C all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 lime
1 C powdered sugar
Water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch (6 cup) bundt pan well with baking spray.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together granulated sugar and butter. With mixture running on low, add one egg at a time, followed by vanilla and optional rum extract. Mix in yogurt and banana until smooth. Add flour, salt, and baking soda, mixing until there are no streaks. Finally, mix in shredded coconut. Transfer to prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until cake is a deep caramel and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting on a plate or wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat together powdered sugar with 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice and enough water to create desired icing consistency.
Plate bundt cake, drizzle with icing and sprinkle with fresh lime zest. Slice and serve. Store remaining cake in an airtight container for up to several days.

Notes

*A 9x5-inch loaf pan may be used in place of an 8-inch bundt pan.

I seriously don’t bake enough bundt cakes, but I think that is going to change with this beauty! I love the combination of banana, coconut, and lime, so tropical and perfect for summer (even if mother nature can’t make up her mind on if it’s winter or summer)!

Ooohh, banana and coconut sounds like an awesome combo! Suits is one of my favorite shows. Try another USA show during your workout. Covert Affairs and Royal Pains are both addictive and will make the time fly by.

I love SUITS too, I actually have season 3 playing in the background right now. I started having Suits as my treadmill show too, but I got hooked too and didn’t want to watch only when I’m working out. I’m totally hooked on this show now too.

I’ve pinned this recipe a few weeks ago and I’m excited to make it tonight. Going to a brunch tomorrow. I might play around using coconut oil, hope it works

  Good luck! I haven’t tried it with coconut oil. If it turns out with the change, please report back! :)

I don’t have a 6 cup bundt pan. Mine is either a 10 or a 12 cup. Would I be able to double the recipe or what do you suggest?
Thank you.

  Rachel — August 11, 2014 at 7:21 pm
  
  If you have a 12 cup, double the recipe and watch it as it bakes, testing for doneness and increasing the time as needed. Good luck! :)

I made it with 1/3 C coconut oil and toasted the coconut flakes for more flavor. It was great, thanks for the recipe.
