Banana bread with white chocolate & coconut

On a rainy and stormy day it can be great to spend time in your kitchen baking a cake, where you can use some very ripe bananas instead of throwing them into the bin.

I found this recipe in the weekly magazine "Søndag" on Banana bread with white chocolate and coconut. The only change, which I have made is, that as I could not find coconut flakes in my local supermarket, I decided to use ordinary desiccated coconut, which I when added into the cake dough instead of placing the coconut flakes on the top of the cake during baking.

Banana bread with white chocolate and coconut: - 1 cake

• 3 eggs
• 200 g brown sugar
• 125 g butter - soft
• 3 banana - use very bananas, if you have such
• 225 g wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 100 g white chocolate - medium chopped
• 50 g desiccated coconut

1. Heat up the oven to 180'C.
2. Whip the eggs and brown sugar in a mixing bowl using an electrical beater.
3. Add the soft butter and whip again.
4. Mash the bananas with a fork, and add the mashed bananas into the cake dough, whip again.
5. Add in the flour together with the baking powder, and whip the dough again.
6. Add in the white chocolate and desiccated coconut, and stir everything together.
7. Fill the cake dough in to 1 l bread form.
8. Place the cake the middle of the oven, and let the banana bread bake at 180'C for approx. 60-75 minutes.
9. Check that the cake is baked by screwing a knitting pine into the cake. The pine should be removed without any unbaked cake dough.
10. Cool down the cake, before slicing it and serving with together with a cup of tea/coffee.
