Banana Cake With Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe - {Diddles & Dumplings}

Ingredients:

Cake:

1 Box of Yellow cake mix

2 bananas (mashed)

Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting:

3 tablespoons butter (softened)

4oz cream cheese (softened)

1 1/2 - 2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon coconut extract

1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

2 teaspoons butter (optional)

Instructions:

Grease and flour a 9" x 13" pan. Follow the directions on the box and right before you beat the cake mix for 2 minutes throw in the mashed bananas. Bake in the oven according to directions on the box.

Beat together the butter & cream cheese & slowly mix in the powdered sugar. Add the coconut extract and beat it together just for a second.

When your cake has cooled just slap on all the frosting and spread it around, and if you're like me you'll just keep spreading it until every single visible section of cake is completely covered and then you'll spread it more until it's perfectly even.

Then take your coconut and if you want to you can throw it in a pan with some butter and brown it, or if you're as impatient as I was and you can't possibly wait another second you can just throw it on top of the cake as is.

The final step is possibly the single most important step: Now that you have your cake you should eat it, too.
