For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter. Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture. To prevent the top from over-browning, loosely tent the cake with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan to ensure easy release after baking. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. (5 minutes)
03
StepAdd the chopped bananas, undrained crushed pineapple, vegetable oil, and eggs to the well. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour the batter evenly into the prepared tube pan. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 70 to 80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (70-80 minutes)
06
StepLet the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
