Banana Coconut Upside Down Cake

I am a Sucker (with a capital S) for those $1 bags of bananas at the grocery store.  And really...they are awesome.  We go through bananas like nobody's business, but why do I buy so many! :)  I was in need of a way to use up those bad boys and I just wasn't feeling banana bread or banana pudding and I already have a ton in my freezer for smoothies....so....Banana CAKE! 
Wolverine, Ze-Ra, and Te-Man just couldn't get enough.  It was gooey and sweet and just really different than any cake I've ever had.  

Needing to mix it up this weekend?  Need the perfect cake to go with your Pina Colada on Saturday?  This is it!  I think we should all mix up some umbrella drinks, grab our suits, and head out to the pool (and pretend we aren't getting freezing rain and ice today).  Who's with me?!
