Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter and flour two 9" cake pans.

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, and beat 2 minutes.
Add banana, beat 2 minutes. Sift together dry ingredients and add to

and gently press coconut onto batter. Bake 30 minutes or until done.
Remove from oven and cool in pans 10 minutes. Turn onto racks to cool
thoroughly.

To prepare filling, combine sugar, flour, cream, and butter in a

Stir in salt, pecans, and vanilla. Remove from heat to cool.

Put one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread top with half the
filling mixture. Place other layer on top and spread remaining
filling on top.

To prepare frosting, cream butter until light and add half the sugar,
beating constantly. Add milk and remaining sugar alternately until
mixture achieves spreading consistency. Blend in vanilla. Frost sides
of the cake and sprinkle with coconut to garnish if desired.
