Ingredients
  • 1½ cups chopped pecans
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 large bananas, mashed
  • 1 (14-oz.) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
  • ¾ cup canola oil
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Glaze
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir in beaten eggs, mashed bananas, pineapple, oil and vanilla, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Sprinkle 1 cup toasted pecans into a greased and floured 14-cup Bundt pan. Spoon batter over pecans.
  3. Bake at 350° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 2 hours).
  4. Prepare glaze by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 Tbsp. milk until well blended. Slowly add remaining 1 Tbsp. milk, beating until smooth. Immediately pour glaze over cooled cake, and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup toasted pecans.
  5. Enjoy!
