Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups mashed bananas
  • 1.5 cups canola oil
  • 1 cup chopped black walnuts
  • 1 8 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 pound confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 pound butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
  2. To make the cake: Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Combine bananas, oil, walnuts, pineapple, and eggs in another large bowl; mix well.
  3. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
  4. 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.
  5. Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together in a medium bowl until smooth.
  6. Place one cooled cake on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread some of the cream cheese frosting on top of cake; place second cake on top and spread remaining frosting evenly over the surface and sides of the cake.
