Description

This Dr. Bird cake flavored with cinnamon is made with crushed pineapple and chopped bananas for a simple-to-prepare quickbread baked in a tube pan.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups banana, coarsely chopped
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
2 Mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add banana, pineapple with juice, oil, and eggs. Mix well and pour into the prepared pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, 70 to 80 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
