Hummingbird Cake

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350°.Grease and flour bundt pan..

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil (I use 1 and 1/3..think 1/4 will work)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract I spilled a bit more ..LOL
1 can (8oz) crushed pineapple, well drained ( I don't drain mine)
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups chopped firm ripe banana

Cream Cheese Frosting:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 pounds confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 to 1 cup chopped pecans

Sift flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and cinnamon together into
mixing bowl several times. ( I sift once and use my spatula
to throughly mix dry ingredients)
Add eggs,vanilla, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
Stir and fold with a wooden spoon until ingredients are
moistened..
Fold in bananas, pineapple,nuts.

BAKE in 350 degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes..I bake mine about
55 minutes.
Let cool on rack for 20 minutes before taking it out of pan.
Let the cake cool completely before covering.

Do not beat batter! I don't frost this cake to cut down on calories as I bake it often and use it like coffee cake as well as dessert..

Dessert day! Woohoo! CAn I have one bite of each please?!

I used to make a similar cake—called it dump cake, cause you just dumped everything in and put the cream cheese on top while it was still hot.

Hummingbird cake: this always worries me even though I know there are NO hummingbirds in it.

Right?

The Hummingbird cake will be a wonderful recipe, LOL, I like what is in it.
