Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the oil, mashed bananas, pineapple, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
-
Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the cake for garnish.
-
Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve and enjoy!
