Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Stir in the mashed bananas and crushed pineapple (with juice).

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Step 8

While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and cream cheese until creamy and smooth.

Step 9

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

Step 11

Garnish the frosted cake with the additional chopped pecans, pressing them gently into the frosting.

Step 12

Cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
