Roasted Banana Coconut Cake

03.26.2021

It's all in the details! Roasting the bananas adds a richness to the light and sweet coconut flavor in the cake. But... it's the browned butter frosting that makes this cake irresistible, creating a nutty, vanilla profile to the perfectly thick and creamy texture. Its delicious!

    Arianna,
    The Roasted Banana Coconut Cake recipe sounds delicious. What do you think of anointing the cake layers with Myer’s rum?

Hi, I’m Arianna

an architect turned baker.

Behind each of my recipes, you will find a thoughtfully curated balance of sweet and savory flavors creating intrigue for both the eye and palette. Desserts to me, are about thoughtfulness and imagination while keeping a healthy balance in mind. In my eyes, the process of architectural design and the process of creating a recipe then composing its structure as one in the same.
