Cake Preparation
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, mashed ripe bananas, and crushed pineapple until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Add Add-ins
Gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Frosting Preparation
8. Make the Frosting
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
9. Add Sugar and Vanilla
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
10. Frost the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting, add the second layer, and repeat. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
