Wow! What an idea! Bananas, coconut, and bread. Does it takes like reg. banana bread with a kick? Meanwhile, yes, I think we have all had such mishaps. Hey, it’s the heart behind it, right? So next time you’ll try adjusting the temp and go from there.

Ginger,
Yes, it tastes just like regular banana bread with a little more flavor, think tropical but not too overpowering. I actually might add a touch of pineapple next time. Yes, its the heart behind it and lucky for me, kids are usually blind to anything but the heart. Thanks for reading and commenting!

WoW. The bread/crumble sounds delicious! I’ve had many cakes and breads stick in my learning experience. I, too, consider myself a good cook and simply see it as a new way to eat it:)

Mom of Faith,
That’s true, just a new way to eat it. I might get creative for the kids breakfast and add a little yogurt and sliced banana for a breakfast parfait!

OMG, that sounds more like cake! I am notorious for not noting the time when I put something in to cook, so I’ve had several cakes-sticking episodes!

Blue,
It certainly tastes like cake, though heavier, delicious! Glad I’m not the only one with kitchen mishaps. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Sounds great…except for the cherries. I don’t really care for maraschino cherries. I find that banana bread always takes way longer than the recipe says it will take to bake. Not sure why?

I’ve not had that happen with banana bread, but last friday was my mom’s birthday so we had them over for dinner. I made her a bautiful 2 layer white cake with white icing, dark chocolate shavings and red respberries on top. It looked beautiful – when I put it in the fridge. When I took it out to serve, however, I dubbed it earthquake cake. For some reason the top layer spilt into 3 large pie pieces and was pulling apart! I had leveled everything perfectly and I can’t figure out why else that would happen. Oh well – still tasted good!

Heather,
Oh no, it sounds like it was beautiful! At least it was still delicious!
I have an “Earthquake cake” recipe that looks hideous but tastes so good its requested at birthdays. At least that one is supposed to look bad.
Thanks for sharing!
