Strawberry Banana Cake

Last Sunday I made a delicious and moist strawberry banana cake with Coconut Swiss buttercream; then, sprinkled some coconut flakes on top.

The recipe was a mixture of a semi homemade magazine strawberry cake recipe and my usual recipe. But, instead of using a strawberry cake mix I used a white cake mix and added strawberry gelatin to give it color and flavor and it made it really moist, this was the recipe from the magazine. Then, just added butter, milk, eggs, sour cream, vanila extract, and a pinch of salt. After it's all mixed up I added the fresh chopped strawberries and bananas. Baked at 350 for about 40 minutes. Then, voila! !

Let the cake cool for about an hour then frost with the Swiss coconut buttercream - DELISH!

BTW- I took the Swiss buttecream recipe from cupcake recipe book .

Strawberry Cake with Kiwi and Coconut

This cake turned out delicious, I made an strawberry Swiss buttercream icing. I do have to say that I used a different brand butter and the icing has a little bit of butter taste to it. But, not as much after the first day. The fresh strawberries and kiwi makes it even more scrumptious! Ah- and the chocolate shavings just give it a fancy look too ;-)
