3 cups plain flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 eggs
Two thirds
cup vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. can crushed
pineapple
Two thirds cup pecans, chopped
3 bananas, mashed
Frosting
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
One third cup
butter
16 oz. confectioner's sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
One half cup pecans, chopped
Combine first 5 cake ingredients in a large bowl, add eggs and oil and
mix, add vanilla, pineapple, nuts and bananas and mix well. Pour
batter into 3 greased and floured 9-inch cake pans and bake for 25 -
30 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow cakes to cool completely before
frosting. To prepare frosting, beat cream cheese and butter together,
add sugar and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Spread between each layer
of cake and along the top and sides. Sprinkle with chopped pecans
The Skinny: Use low fat cream cheese, your favorite egg and sugar
substitutes and an equal amount of apple sauce in place of the
vegetable oil.
