Humming Bird Cake

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups mashed bananas
• 1 ½ cups canola oil
• 1 cup chopped black walnuts
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 3 large eggs

Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 1 pound confectioners’ sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¼ pound butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
2. Make cake: Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Combine bananas, oil, walnuts, pineapple, and eggs in another large bowl; mix well. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each pan comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow cakes to cool on wire racks.
4. Meanwhile, make frosting: Beat together confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.
5. Evenly spread frosting on the middle, sides, and top of cooled cake.
