Ingredidents:

3 c flour

2 tsp cinnamin

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 c sugar

1 c brown sugar

3 eggs

1 c oil

2 tsp vanilla

1 c crushed pineapple

4 ripe bananas mashed

1 c roasted walnuts

Frosting:

2 - 8 oz pkgs of cream cheese - softened

1 c butter - softened

1 lb. powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour 2 - 9 inch round cake pans and set aside (or use Pam Baking spray).

Sift together the first 4 ingredients into a large mixing bowl (if you do not have a sifter, them simply use a whisk to mix together the ingredients, this will break up any lumps). Beat sugars, eggs, oil and vanilla.  Add the pineapple and mashed bananas to the sugar mixture until well blended.  Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture until well blended and then stir in the roasted walnuts. 

Pour half the batter into each of the pans and bake for approximately 35 minutes - Test with a toothpick to come clean for doneness.

Cool the cakes for 2 minutes in the pans, then turn out onto cooling racks to cool completly.

To prepare frosting: Mix together the cream cheese, butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.  Gradually add in the powdered sugar.
