Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the glaze:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Extra pecans for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a Bundt cake pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and chopped pecans.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Whisk together the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold in the banana and pineapple mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for about 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
- Once the cake is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, and sprinkle with extra pecans. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Using brown butter instead of plain oil adds toasted notes; swap pecans for walnuts for an earthier flavor. For vegan, use flax eggs and plant-based ingredients.
