Ingredients:

                    === CAKE ===
3     cups          all-purpose flour
2     cups          sugar
1     teaspoon      baking soda
1     teaspoon      salt
1     teaspoon      ground cinnamon
1     cup           vegetable oil
3     large         eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons     vanilla extract
2     cups          chopped bananas - (abt 3 bananas)
1     cup           chopped pecans
1     can           crushed pineapple with juice - (8 oz)
                    === FROSTING ===
2     packages      cream cheese - (8 oz ea)
1     cup           unsalted butter - (2 sticks)
3     cups          powdered sugar
2     teaspoons     vanilla extract
1/2   cup           chopped toasted pecans

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

For cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans with 2-inch-high sides.
Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Whisk in oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in bananas, pecans, and pineapple. Divide batter equally between prepared pans.
Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 10 minutes. Run knife around cake sides and turn out onto rack to cool completely.
For frosting: Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl to blend. Beat in sugar and vanilla.
Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread 1 1/2 cups frosting over. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle toasted pecans in border around top edge of cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Let stand at room temperature before serving.)
This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.
Comments: "My mother and I spent a recent afternoon shopping in Gruene, a small town not far from Austin," writes Martha Witebsky of Austin, Texas. "We loved the tender, fruity cake we had at the River House Tea Room. Would chef Carol Hill share the recipe for what she calls Hummingbird Cake?"
