How to make it
- Position racks in center of oven and preheat to 400. Smear two 5 x 9 loaf pans with butter and dust with flour.
- Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium size bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream cream butter and sugar using a high speed handmixer until creamy and fluffy and mixture is a light lemon color.
- With the mixer now on low, beat in the eggs, banana and coconut at low speed for a few minutes.
- Stir half of the sour cream into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon. Fold in the dry ingredients. Add remaining sour cream and stir until all are combined.
- Use a spatula and pour mixture into the two loaf pans.
- Bake at 70 to 75 minutes, but check frequently depending on your oven. (toothpick test)
- Remove from oven and set on wire rack to cool.
- P.S When you cut this, it tends to fall apart a bit..That is normal with the rich and dense recipe, just an FYI..So good still! Use the crumbles on some ice cream. Life is good
