Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 170°C and grease a 10cm/4 inch round cake tin, lining the base with parchment.
2
In a bowl, mash the 80g banana until smooth, then whisk in the 28g beaten egg, 35g coconut milk and 15g melted coconut oil until combined.
3
Sift the 45g cake flour, 3g baking powder and 1g salt into the wet mixture along with the 30g sugar, folding gently until just combined with no dry streaks.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
5
Bake for 28-32 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top springs back lightly.
6
Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7
Toast the 12g desiccated coconut in a dry pan over low heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden, stirring constantly, then scatter over the cooled cake before slicing.
