Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)/ gas 4. With a pencil, draw round the tin onto the nonstick baking parchment. Carefully cut out the square. Grease and line the tin with the nonstick baking parchment.
- Carefully cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat the eggs into the creamed butter and sugar mixture.
- Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into the creamed mixture and gently fold them in. Next, stir in the banana and buttermilk.
- Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and carefully smooth the top with a palette knife. Bake the cake in the oven for 35 minutes, or until firm. Cool on a cooling rack.
- Meanwhile, carefully dry fry the coconut over a low heat until golden, stirring continuously. Tip the toasted coconut onto a plate to stop it from burning.
- Beat the cheese and icing sugar together with a wooden spoon until completely combined. It should become smooth, soft and spreadable.
- When the cake is completely cool, carefully cut it into squares. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese topping and a sprinkle of toasted coconut to each square.
