My neighbor made this delicious cake. The cake is moist and has a crisp edge because it is cooked in a cast-iron skillet. She got the recipe from the Jan Feb 2004 Cooking Light magazine.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare your 13x9-1/2x2 inch cake by either greasing the sides with butter or using cooking spray such as Pam. Place the butter in your cake pan and place it in the oven while your oven is preheating at 350 degrees so that your butter melts. Once butter is melted remove pan from oven and sprinkle one cup of the brown sugar evenly over the bottom of your pan.
- 2. Now spoon crushed pineapple evenly over the bottom of the pan. Add the chopped strawberries evenly over the pineapple layer and set aside until cake batter is prepared.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl place the dry cake mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add mashed bananas, 1 cup water/pineapple juice mix, oil, and eggs. Blend with an electric mixer for one minute. Stop mixer and scrap down side of bowl with rubber spatula. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed until well blended, scraping sides again if needed.
- 4. Pour batter evenly over the fruit layer in your baking pan. Place on center rack in your oven.
- 5. Bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand about 5 minutes for topping to set; then turn cake onto a large serving platter or a cookie sheet. Serve cake pieces with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. This cake is good both warm or cold. Enjoy!!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Use a nonstick baking pan. This will help prevent the cake from sticking and make it easier to turn out.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to be at its best.
