Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large ripe bananas (mashed)
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice, canned)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the crushed pineapple with its juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk (or water) until smooth and pourable. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious Pineapple and Banana Cake!
