                       --Carole Walberg--
  2      Tablespoons   Unsalted Butter* -- Softened
    1/3  Cup           Coconut -- Grated
                       Zest Of 1 Orange
    3/4  Cup           Sugar
    1/2  Cup           Unsalted Butter* -- Chilled
  2                    Eggs
  1      Teaspoon      Vanilla Extract
    1/4  Cup           Sour Cream, Yoghurt, Buttermilk,
                       Or Sour Milk
  1      Cup           Banana** -- Mashed
  2      Cups          All-Purpose Flour
  1      Teaspoon      Baking Soda
    1/2  Teaspoon      Salt

* I have made this recipe with margarine instead of butter.
**About 3 medium-sized bananas

1. Preheat oven to 350F, butter one 9-cup (2L) Bundt pan and sprinkle
  with grated coconut.
2. Fit work bowl with steel knife and with machine running, drop zest
   through feed tube.  Add sugar and process until zest is finely
   chopped
3. Cut butter into 1" cubes and add to work bowl.  Process
   on/off, on/off until mixture is thoroughly blended.
4. Mix in eggs, one by one, vanilla extract, sour cream and bananas.
5. Sift dry ingredients together and add to batter.  Process quickly
   with 2 or 3 on/off turns.     Do not overprocess.
6. Turn batter into pan and bake 40-45 minutes or until done.  Allow
   cake to rest 8-10 minutes before turning it out of pan.

Note: The cake keeps well and can also be frozen.  The riper the
bananas, the more flavour the cake will have.
Variations: Add 1/3 cup chopped dates or chocolate chips to the
batter. The cake can also be made in two 8" round pans and baked
25-30 minutes.  Ice with a cream cheese frosting.
