There’s little to discuss when it comes to this magnificent cake by Donna Hay.

It’s made from coconut, banana and condensed milk.

The End.

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Place the butter, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 6–8 minutes or until pale and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana and flour and beat on low speed until just combined.

Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 22cm springform cake tin lined with non-stick baking paper and cook for 45–50 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool completely in the tin.

Using a skewer, make holes all over the top of the cake. Place the milks in a large jug and whisk well to combine. Place the cake tin on a baking tray to catch any leaks, and gradually pour the milk mixture all over the cake. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or until the milk mixture has been absorbed.

Remove the cake from the tin and place on a plate. Place the cream in a bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until soft peaks form. Top the cake with the cream and sprinkle with the coconut flakes to serve. Serves 8.
