Instructions

- In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
- Add 1 cup crushed pineapple, 1/3 cup vegetable oil,3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just 1 to 2 minutes.
- Use a rubber spatula to stir in 1 cup banana puree and 1 cup of chopped pecans until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely before frosting.
- Frost cake with cream cheese frosting and then sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of remaining chopped pecans.
