  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 ½ cups Finely grated carrots
  • 1 cup Drained canned crushed pineapple in juice
  • ½ cup Mashed ripe banana
  • ¾ cup Chopped pecans

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz Softened cream cheese
  • ½ cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with cooking spray or butter, then dusting them lightly with flour.
  • Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  • Step 4: Stir in the finely grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple, and mashed ripe banana into the wet ingredients.
  • Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Step 6: Gently fold in the chopped pecans to the batter.
  • Step 7: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25–30 minutes.
  • Step 8: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Step 9: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
  • Step 10: After the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate, spread the cream cheese filling, and top with the second layer.
  • Step 11: Slice the cake, serve, and enjoy!
