I had this cake for the first time a few weeks ago at a local restaurant. So good! Very much like a carrot cake except it has pineapple and bananas in it!
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. crushed pineapple, DO NOT DRAIN
1 cup pecans, chopped
2 cups bananas, chopped
Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe to follow)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add eggs and oil and STIR until dry ingredients are just combined. Do not beat. Stir in vanilla, pineapple, pecans and bananas.
Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool on wire racks completely.
Spread Cream Cheese frosting between layers and around sides and top of cake. Top with chopped pecans. Store in refrigerator.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat cheese and butter together. Beat in sugar. Stir in vanilla.
