Hummingbird Cake




3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup chopped pecans
1-3/4 cups mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Cream Cheese Frosting (below)


Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened.  Do not beat.  Stir in vanilla, pineapple, 1 cup pecans, and bananas.  Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.  Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.  Stir 1/2 cup pecans into Cream Cheese Frosting, if desired, or reserve them to sprinkle over top of frosted cake.  Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake.
