A delightful cake that blends tropical flavors of bananas and pineapple with cream cheese frosting, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 ripe bananas)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir in crushed pineapple and mashed bananas.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts.
  5. Carefully divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Once your cakes are completely cool, generously frost them with cream cheese frosting.

Notes

Use overly ripe bananas for maximum sweetness. Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor.
