In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and eggs. Beat until fluffy. Add extract, pecans, baking powder, baking soda and bananas. Combine well. Add coconut-pecan mixture. In a separate bowl, mix crumbles and flour. Add whipped topping mix; stir into banana mixture.

Pour into greased bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick somes out clean. Drizzle corn syrup over warm cake once removed from pan.

When cake has cooled, slice cake in half and spread whipped icing on bottom layer. Top with first layer, and pipe icing on top. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
