    This easy Banana and Pineapple Cake is also perfect to make with the kids with lots of mashing, measuring and mixing involved, what more could you ask for!?!?  It’s also a great opportunity to use up those brown bananas the kids refuse to eat.

    Banana and Pineapple Cake Ingredients

    Please note you will find a full list of ingredients and quantities required in the recipe card below.

    To make this classic Banana and Pineapple cake you will need: bananas (the browner the better!), crushed pineapple that has been drained, cinnamon, caster sugar, self-raising flour, desiccated coconut, coconut oil, pineapple juice and eggs. 

    It is important to drain the juice from the crushed pineapple. To do this, place the crushed coconut into a sieve and place a bowl underneath to catch the juice. Use the back of a spoon to remove the extra juice.

    Tips for Making this Banana and Pineapple Cake:

    It’s important to drain the excess pineapple juice, otherwise your loaf will be very soft in the centre.

    You will need two small bananas for this recipe. The browner the bananas, the better.

    This recipe is freezer friendly.

    You can make this recipe in a different size cake tin, however please not that the cooking time will vary.

    You could add a simple icing to this loaf  but I prefer it without and it sure tastes delicious when eaten warm with a glass of milk.

    This recipe makes a large loaf, so I like to cut each slice in half for the kids, this also makes it the perfect size for a lunch box treat.

      Is this an American sized cup or Australian cup measurement? It
      Sounds delicious! But I’m conscious of the American cups being less in weight
