Just to divert the discussion.....

One of the wonderful cakes I recall from the Jewish bakeries in the
neighborhood where I grew up, was banana. These cakes were sold by the
pound from large, but thick sheet cake slabs. They had chocolate
frosting. To die for.

Otherwise, I'd go with lemon butter cream, which would also work well
with your coconut.
