Ingrédients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained

1 1/2 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup chopped dried apricots

1 package package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and oil together until combined. Add the crushed pineapple, bananas, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the pecans, coconut, and dried apricots.
Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.
To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread the frosting between the layers, on the top, and around the sides of the cake.
Garnish with extra chopped pecans, if desired. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
