  • Mix all the dry ingredients into another bowl.
  • Gently fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until combined.
  • Add in the banana and coconut and fold in again.
  • Pour into pan - A word: the batter is really thick.
  • In a small bowl, crush the almonds slightly with your hand. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well to represent crumbs.
  • Sprinkle evenly on top of the cake batter. Bake for 45-50 minutes till the crumbs become golden and a tester comes out clean from the center.

Notes

The original recipe asked to add almond milk into the batter. I replaced it with milk, as I didn't have almond milk available.
