Bananna Coconut Cake

Note: To make the topping, simply mix all topping ingredients (except the chocolate chips) together. The chocolate chips were only used in the cake baked in the square bake pan.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter with sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Then add bananas, buttermilk and vanilla.

Sift together dry ingredients and blend into the banana mixture.

Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan. Pour half of the batter into the tube pan. Sprinkle in half of the topping (without chocolate chips). Add the remaining batter, then sprinkle in the remaining topping.
