This old fashioned dessert makes a guest appearance at our Thanksgiving table every year. It's full of flavorful ingredients and reminds me of my grandmas house.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups diced ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (8-oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in bananas and next 5 ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into 3 greased round pans or bundt pan.

Step 2

Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely (about 1 hour).

Step 3

Frost with your favorite cream cheese or butter cream frosting if desired. We think it's just as good by itself!
