Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the crushed pineapple with its juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk (or water) until smooth and pourable. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
