From my “Meme”

For cake:
3c flour
2c sugar
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
2c chopped bananas, about 3
3 eggs, beaten
1 ½ c oil
1 ½ t vanilla
1 – 8oz can crush pineapple, do not drain
2c chopped nuts – 1 for batter, 1 for icing

Grease and flour 3 cake pans. Preheat oven to 350.
Combine dry ingredients. Add eggs and oil. Stir until moist. Do not beat.
Stir in vanilla, pineapple, bananas and 1 cup of the pecans.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.

For frosting:
1 – 8oz pkg. cream cheese
1 – 16oz box powdered sugar
2 t vanilla
½ c butter

Cream butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and beat until creamy.

Cool cake completely before icing. Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans between layers of cake and on top.

Notes:
I’ve received many compliments on this cake and always send them my grandmother’s way. I love how it incorporates fruit and makes three beautiful layers. Its white icing made it a nice choice for a baptismal cake when we needed one. And I’ve thought lately if I needed something to make for a bake sale, you can get three single cakes from this one recipe.
