I was so busily involved with my Terengganu food fest recently that i had actually forgotten that our latest THB ( The Home Bakers) bake was due yesterday. But no problem, we are given 4 weeks period to post this up, very flexible. I have not got the post ready yet therefore i quickly organised my photos last night. If any of you are interested to join THB, do contact Joyce for further details. Currently, we are baking from the book Coffee Cake by Lou Seibert Pappas and we are now into our 11th bake from the book. Kit from I-Lost in Austen , another member of the group had picked this Banana, Macadamia Nut and Coconut Coffee cake for us to bake . Do visit Kit's blog if you havent done so. I'm sure you will be impressed with her beautiful cakes, pictures and also flowers from her garden! I always have the impression that Kit is a very romantic lady, i might be wrong but whenever I visit her blog, i feel like i''ve been taken to a beautiful place, a cottage garden ..and birds singing..LOL!
Thanks Kit for choosing this lovely banana coffee cake. It is a very moist cake and i love the addition of coconut flakes in the cake and also the macadamia nuts cinnamon sugar topping..yum! I baked half a recipe in two small 4 inch round pan, did made a little adjustment to the recipe ie reduced the baking powder to 3/4tsp and increased the baking soda to 1/2 tsp , used yogurt in replacement of sour cream and have used 135gms mashed bananas in weight. To get the full recipe , please visit Kit's blog and to see group baking, click here

Hi Lena
ReplyDeleteI am sure this and no doubt about it that this cake is sure tobe delicious as it looks at your photos. I think I can smell banana fragrance too. Lovely!
Wow this looks super delicious. As I love bananas, nuts and coffee/choc, I think I will like this very much..hmmm..i must ask u-know-who to bake this for me..hehhee..i hv the same feeling when I visit Kit's blog too..she has the fairy-like garden and I can get easily lost in my own world if I have a garden like hers..:)
ReplyDeleteLooks really moist! I love bake with banana. Will try to bake if possible.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious .... I have lost track of THB bakes. Hope to catch soon.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good! I enjoyed this bake very much and have made it a couple of times already :)
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed one delicious cake! I love the best part is the chewy flaked coconuts against the soft cake! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love banana cakes. Baked them a couple of times but never added nuts to it. Will bake again after my Penang run and add some macadamias to it. And yes perhaps some coffee as well.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a banana and peach muffin this morning in Canning Garden... my girl loves banana cakes... and hope to learn up to bake one soon.. :)
ReplyDeleteLook so yummy! Will try it soon but I think too late to meet the deadline.
ReplyDeleteAdding coconut flakes to the banana cakes sounds good to me. Good idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this cake too! will bookmark this for future bakes:D

ReplyDeleteLena Lena, this must be an expensive cake since macadamia nuts are not cheap! Love the macadamia nuts! Can I use my bread to exchange with your bread? I untung!

ReplyDeleteHi Lena,
ReplyDeleteI was caught in between the "to-bake" or "not-to-bake" situation with this recipe. This recipe seems very easy to bake but the cake has coconut in it and so I've decided not to bake this.
Your mini cakes look good :D
Zoe
Oh yum! This is most definitely my ideal breakfast!
ReplyDeleteSues
so many great ingredients in one cake- Not sure where to start on which one i like the most. I love that you used coconut with the banana- reminds me of flavors in the summer!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious..
ReplyDeleteLena, you made such a moist and delicious coffee cake; I would certainly enjoy it with my morning cup of coffee. Love the combination of the banana, the macadamia nut and the coconut...so moist; Yumm!
ReplyDeleteWah! Banana and coffee are my 2 favourite, nom nom! The combination of both sure would make me go ga-ga~~
ReplyDeleteLena , you cake looks fantastic ! Love everything in that cake :D

ReplyDeleteOh wow that looks delicious. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Lena, the addition of coconut flakes and nuts topped with cinnamon sounds very interesting. Would be really nice if I can have slice without having to bake it ;)
ReplyDeleteLena, this is one spectacular coffee cake!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at all you do Lena! I am really loving this chunky coffee cake. You got me wanting to make one now and eat it all myself! ;)
