INGREDIENTS:
 
CAKE:
 
WET
1-1/2 cups canola oil
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 mashed ripe bananas
1 (8-oz can) crushed pineapple with its juice (do not drain)

3 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 325F (not 350F).
 
Generously spray a bundt pan with baking spray (or use oil and then flour the pan).
 
In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine all the wet ingredients. Place all the dry ingredients in a sieve and sift over wet ingredients in large bowl; use a wooden spoon to just to combine (do not over mix).  Fold in the additions.
 
Pour cake batter into the bundt pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour and 5 to 15 minutes (turning half way for even baking), just until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (Do not overbake or the cake will be dry).
 
Remove hot cake from oven and place upright in bundt pan on a baking rack to cool for 30 minutes.  Invert pan to remove cake, and place on baking rack to fully cool.
 
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting shown below.

8 TB salted butter, at room temp
8 TB cream cheese, at room temp
4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
2 tsp vanilla extract

Place all frosting ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Use a hand mixer to combine, then continue beating until smooth and fluffy for about 3 minutes. Cover and set aside at room temperature until cake has fully cooled, then frost. ~ Enjoy!
