Instructions

For the cake:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
Place the bananas in a large bowl. Mix with a handheld electric mixer until mashed. Add the eggs, sugar, oil, and pineapple, and mix until combined.
4 medium-sized ripe bananas, 3 eggs, 2 cups sugar, 1½ cups vegetable oil, 8 oz crushed pineapple,
In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture with a spatula. Stir in the coconut and pecans.
2¾ cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup finely chopped pecans
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 65–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely.

For the frosting:

Once the cake is cool, place the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix with a handheld electric mixer until soft and creamy.
8 oz cream cheese,, ½ cup (1 stick) butter,, 3 cups powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla
Invert the cake onto a cake pedestal or serving platter. Top with the cream cheese frosting (you may not need it all). Sprinkle with coconut.
½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

Don't have a bundt pan? You can use an angel food cake pan, or even a 9x13 inch pan. If using a 9x13 inch pan, the baking time will need to decrease quite a bit. Start checking the cake around 30 minutes to see if it's done.

Store any leftover cake in the refrigerator. The cake can also be frozen (either frosted or unfrosted).
