Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups mashed banana
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round baking pans. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add oil, mashed banana, pineapple, pecans, and vanilla; stir until blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting

For the frosting, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter, 8 ounces cream cheese, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Gradually add in 4 cups powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Spread frosting between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake.

Tips

For a more intense banana flavor, add a teaspoon of banana extract to the batter.
If you don't have three 9-inch pans, you can use two 8-inch pans and one 9-inch pan.
To make cupcakes, fill greased muffin tins about 3/4 full and bake for about 15 minutes.
