2 1/2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 1/2 cups dessicated coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecan plus
1/2 cup whole for decoration
3 bananas, 2 chopped
into chunks, the third
sliced for decoration
2 eggs, lightly beaten
300ml milk
60g butter, melted
Preheat oven to 180 C. Grease a 21cm by 11cm loaf tin.
Combine sifted flour and baking powder in a large
bowl. Add caster sugar, coconut and pecans and stir to
combine. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl
and fold into dry ingredients a little at a time until
mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared tin and decorate
the top with sliced banana and whole pecans. Bake one

centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in tin 10 minutes
before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with butter or toasted with butter and honey.
