3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup chopped pecans
1 3/4 cups mashed bananas
Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe follows)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) round cake pans.

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not beat. Stir in vanilla, pineapple, 1 cup pecans, and bananas. Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 23 to 38 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
