    Hi Anon - It would be difficult to bake this cake in a bundt pan, as the banana-sugar-coconut mixture works better when able to sit on a flat surface.

    Hi @sarahellenreynolds! For this recipe, you will have two cakes. If you’d only like one, you may cut the recipe in half.

    I'm new to baking and have a general question! So you have two cakes? Or do you stack on top of one another? And if it is 2 cakes, can you cut the recipe in half and only have one?

    @medoster, I'm not the right girl to ask because nothing is ever too much! LOL! I think it would taste great.

    I am making this for someone's birthday and want it to look a little "fancier." So I am thinking of stacking the two cakes and melting store-brough Cocounut/Butter Pecan icing and pouring over the top as a "finisher". Do you think that would be too much - taste-wise, I mean?

    I made this for my son's birthday today and used carrot cake mix and vanilla yogurt (instead of the water and sour cream). Super delicious and super moist!

    would it be okay to make it in a 9x13 or even a jelly roll pan?

    Extra pineapple flavor can only be good. So glad you enjoyed it! I think the cherries will look beautiful!

    Made this today! Delicious!!! I used Duncan hines pineapple cake mix instead of a yellow cake mix and it gave it just a mild pineapple flavor that was fabulous with the bananas and coconut! I'm going to make this for Easter and think I might put a few small marachino cherries among the bananas to give it a festive look! thanks for the recipe!
