This one's a great snacking cake! These small loaves will have you thinking of banana bread (especially after you catch the aroma of fresh bananas), but they're definitely a step above. Light and crispy shreds of coconut and crunchy sweet macadamias will make anyone a fan.

Speaking of macadamias, while these exotic nuts are actually native to Australia, it's easy to associate the buttery, slightly sweet flavor with the tropics. And when the two most famous fruits of the tropics -- coconut and banana -- are combined with it to make a cake, it's guaranteed to be a favorite.

We suggest serving our South American cake with dulce de leche sauce, or even dulce de leche ice cream for an authentically finished dessert.
