Blue Ribbon Banana Cake with Creamy Nut Filli

This was an excellent recipe. Everyone loved the height and restaurant look to this dessert. The White Snow Frosting recipe was missing the amount for the icing sugar, I started with 2 cups and it was perfect, frosted the entire cake. The frosting was stiff and had a tendency to pull up the coconut from the top layer it ended up with a professional look.
