Banana, Coconut and Coffee Cake

Normally I don't like to bake. But one rainy day when I had nothing better to do, I decided to try this recipe. I added bananas, coconut and coffee to the original plain cake recipe I got from a magazine long ago (have the cutting but not the name, sorry) and it turned out to be really good!  I also substituted whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour. The aroma filled the whole house and the warm just baked cake tasted divine with tea. Surprisingly the flavors of all ingredients blended in with each other really well.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick melted unsalted butter
3 mashed bananas (ripe)
1/4 cup dessicated coconut

2 tsp Instant Coffee Powder
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, coffee powder and salt. Add butter, mashed bananas, dessicated coconut, eggs, and vanilla. Stir and mix thoroughly, I did it with a hand mixer. Pour in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Line the baking pan with parchment paper so the cake comes out clean. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Insert a knife in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean that means the cake is done. Enjoy!!
