The melding of banana, coconut and pecans give this cake a unique flavor. Best if made a day before serving.

Banana Nut Coconut Cake:

1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
