Being in the kitchen is such a stress relieving past time for me. Prior to puttering about in the teeny-weeny kitchen, something always tickles my mind that get me excited to tinker here and there to concoct a recipe.
While browsing through one of the cookbooks, this recipe for a variant of a banana cake jumped off the page. After ticking the ingredients off the list, it was sift, pour and mix filled with anticipation if the creation would turn out a delectable.
This recipe did not disappoint.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup coconut
1 stick butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
