Cake Ingredients

2 cups 00 bread flour

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 tsp Baking soda

1 tsp Ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 cups Tuscany sunflower oil

3 large Eggs

1 1/2 cups Ripe bananas, mashed

1 cups Crushed pineapple, drained

1 cups Toasted coconut flakes

1/2 cups Unsalted butter, softened

4 cups Powdered sugar

Method

Cake Preparation

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, eggs, mashed bananas, and crushed pineapple. Mix until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Add Nuts and Coconut

Fold in the chopped pecans and toasted coconut flakes gently into the batter.

Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cakes

Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Frosting Preparation

Prepare the Frosting

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy and smooth.

Add Sugar and Vanilla

Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Frost the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake.

Garnish

Optional: Sprinkle additional toasted coconut and chopped pecans on top of the frosted cake for decoration.
