  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 medium ripe bananas
  • 8 oz crushed pineapple (with juice)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup crushed pineapples (most juice squeezed out, not all)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream (optional)
  • 16 oz packs of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and grease a 9x13 casserole baking pan.
  • Combine flour, both sugars, baking soda, pecans, and cinnamon on a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, vanilla extract, crushed pineapple and smashed bananas. Whisk until all combined.
  • Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until smoothly combined.
  • Pour cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. (Make sure to start checking on the cake after 35-40 minutes to see if it's done. Different types of baking pans, like glass, metal, and ceramic, will affect the bake time slightly.)Do a toothpick test in the center of the cake to see if it's done, or do a touch test. (Most cakes are also done when internal temperature reaches 200° to 210°, with most cakes needing to get to 210°.)
  • Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake (use something that is about a pencil thickness).
