3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the oil and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.

5. Fold in Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and chopped nuts (if using) using a fork or spatula. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting and serve.

Tips:

• Ensure your bananas are ripe for maximum flavor and sweetness.
• You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra texture and flavor.
• For a tropical twist, consider adding shredded coconut to the batter.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
