This cake was a disappointment. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the cream cheese frosting was too sweet. I won't be making this cake again.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I usually reduce the amount of sugar in the cake batter by about 1/4 cup, and that seems to do the trick. The cake is still plenty sweet, but it's not overpowering.

Overall, this was a good cake. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese frosting was smooth and creamy. However, I found the pineapple and bananas to be a bit overpowering. I think I would omit them next time I make this cake.
