Coconut and Banana Cake (serves 10-12)

Coconut and Banana Cake by The Fat Foodie

I made this Coconut and Banana Cake last week because I’d noticed that I had a few bananas which were ripe, but were about to turn into high FODMAP over-ripe ones within the next couple of days and I wanted to make use of them while I still could.
