Instructions

1 Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three
9-inch round cake pans.
2 Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking
soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3 Add the Wet Ingredients: Incorporate beaten eggs, oil, and vanilla extract into
the dry mixture. Mix until well combined.
4 Incorporate the Fruits and Nuts: Stir in crushed pineapple with its juice,
mashed bananas, and chopped pecans. Mix until evenly distributed.
5 Divide and Bake: Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30
minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
6 Cool and Level: Cool cakes in pans on a wire rack, then remove and level the
tops.
7 Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat together softened butter, cream cheese,
powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
8 Assemble the Cake: Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of the
cake.
9 Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing. For enhanced flavors,
let the cake sit for a few hours.
