I love this cake. Adapted from the recipe of the "cake mix doctor" this is a heavy, flavorful, tasty cake. Great way to use us a few leftover bananas! Enjoy...

Yield 18-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package yellow cake mix with pudding (2 layer size)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice (undrained)
1 cup mashed ripe banana (2-3 medium sized)
1 jar maraschino cherry, halves drained

1/2 cup butter, softened at room temp
3 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Stop mixer and scrape down, then mix at medium speed for 2 minutes more.
  • Stir in by hand the cherries and 1/2 cup nuts.
  • Batter will be thick and fruit well blended.
  • Pour into bundt pan.
  • Bake on middle rack for 50-60 minutes.
  • Cake will be golden and spring back when touched.
  • Cool in pan for 20 minutes then invert and cool completely.
  • Make the cream cheese frosting.
  • Mix the cream cheese and butter on low 30 seconds.
  • Add the sugar, slowly still at low speed until well blended.
  • Add vanilla, increase to medium and beat 1 minute.
  • Frost cooled cake and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
  • Store in the refrigerator up to one week.
  • Can be frozen up to 6 months.
  • Thaw overnite in the refrigerator before serving.

The cream cheese frosting was too thick and overpowering. I would have preferred a lighter frosting.

The cake was dense and dry. Not a fan.
