Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups mashed bananas

  • 1 ½ cups canola oil

  • 1 cup chopped black walnuts

  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

  • 3 large eggs


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.

  2. Make cake: Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Combine bananas, oil, walnuts, pineapple, and eggs in another large bowl; mix well. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pans.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each pan comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow cakes to cool on wire racks.

  4. Meanwhile, make frosting: Beat together confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.

  5. Evenly spread frosting on the middle, sides, and top of cooled cake.
