Jessie981,I don't want to hijack your thread but your seven recipes for banana cake is mild compared with the NINETEEN chocolate cake recipes I counted when I had the most recent cleanout of my collection. I am ashamed to say I realised I actually had four or five copies of the same recipe for a "roasting pan " style mud cake and I'm not even a fan of that type of cake or chocolate cake in general. I think my passion for recipes may be getting a little out of hand.

I keep different recipes of the same cakes eg Chiffon cake. Some recipes need 4 eggs, 6eggs or 9 eggs and its handy if Im running low on eggs. Some people also prefer the taste of a particular recipe compared with others.
Cream butter and sugar very well, add eggs one by one.Then add half of the flour mixture, then 6 tablespoons of cold water.Now add rest of flour mixture containing the seeds.Bake about an hour.

"Ripe" has a beautiful Banana Coconut Cake that they serve in their shop in Richmond Rd, Ponsonby. Have the recipe from their cookbook which is available from their shop, perhaps could be ordered online.
The cream cheese icing (also includes coconut) has the zest and juice of a lemon served with a lashing of passisn fruit pulp.
Cream Cheese icing 100g unsalted butter 600 g sifted icing sugar 250 g cream cheese softened only Juice and zest of a lemon 1 cup (70g) long thread cocounut for the topping - toasted a little.
Preheat oven 180c grease and lined 26cm spring form round tin. Place coconut and first measure of milk together in a bowl. Leave to soak. In a mixing bowlcream butter and sugar together. Add eggsone at a time, scraping down sides of bowl and beating well between additions. Once the eggs are combined, add the soaked milky cocnut and mashed bananas. Mix together. Add the second measure of milk and the flour alternating between each. Mix well and pour into the lined tin. Bake for approx 1 hour or until a skewer is inserted into the centre and comes out clean.
To prepare the icing; In a cake mixer combine the butter and icing sugar until fine bread crumbs are formed. Add cream cheese, juice and zest. Beat on high for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Once the cake is cooled, ice with cream cheese icing, sprinkle with the toasted coconut and then drizzle with a spiral of passion fruit pulp for a final flourish.
Typed as 99% printed.
Editing to add that the book is under "Products and items" under the heading "Products" Cheers.
Cheers.

Thank you for posting that so promptly, valentino. Is the soaked coconut supposed to be drained of any remaining milk before it is added to the mixture !

".milky soaked coconut" . it all goes in.
I simply just put it all in presumably was how I read it.
It came out just like the bought piece I tried.

Just did a thorough search through the book and it is not in the book, sorry but looks as though not everything is in their recipe book.
Keeping some to themselves by the look of it.

Haha I know what you mean. I have two printed 'melt and mix' banana cake recipes here. I have tried one of them and didn't like it very much. The second recipe was only slightly different but I decided to try it anyway and it turned out to be as good as any Banana cake I've ever made. It's a keeper. Really surprised me, glad I didn't throw the recipe away like I nearly did. I do try to write a comment on each recipe I have copied off the internet but I often forget. So when it comes time to look for "that recipe we all loved when I made it last year" I can never remember which one it was!
