Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray generously to coat all inner surfaces.
In a large bowl, or stand mixer, mix together sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until well combined
Add oil, mashed banana, and pineapple; stir just enough to combine ingredients. Fold in the nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 6-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. The cake with be darker on the outside due to the sugars and baking spray. It will feel springy when touched.
Allow cake to fully cool for 2 hours before removing it from the pan, and frosting.
Frosting
To prepare frosting, add cream cheese, and butter to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Combine over medium speed until creamy, and fluffy. Reduce speed and slowly add in the powdered sugar cup by cup. Add in the milk as needed, and extract. Combine until creamy, light, and fluffy. There should be no lumps in your frosting if you use room temperature ingredients.
Place cooled cake on a cake stand or platter. Using a frosting spatula, cover all surfaces of the cake with a generous amount of frosting. Sprinkle coconut, and place whole pecans around the frosted cake.
