I know it is still a little cold and kind of early to be thinking of fun things to do in the sun but I am in the mood for something tropical this weekend. I seldom make cakes but since we are having company, I thought it would be fun to make a cake with some of the flavors we associate with sunny weather like bananas and pineapples. Will the flavors combine? There is only one way to find out.

Spelt or All-Purpose Flour

For this Banana Pineapple Cake recipe, I used organic spelt flour. Spelt is an ancient distant cousin to the modern wheat. It does contain gluten and so it is not suitable for a gluten free diet. Whole spelt flour and white spelt flour are easily available at most health food stores. I find breads, cakes, and pasta made with spelt flour to be a little more tender. Please feel free to substitute the spelt flour in this recipe with all-purpose flour on a 1:1 ratio.

Moist and tender Banana Pineapple Cake with Pineapple Frosting.

I was very pleased with the way this Banana Pineapple Cake turned out. It was moist, tender, and flavorful. The cake is purposely made a little less sweet as the pineapple frosting more than made up for it.

Pineapple Frosting

  • Beat butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, food coloring, and enough pineapple juice to form a spreadable consistency. Beat until combined.
  • Spread about ½ cup frosting on the first layer of cake. Place second cake top side up onto frosted layer. Spread frosting on the side and top of cake. Chill cake in the fridge until frosting sets, about an hour.

    I am trawling the web looking for a pinneapple cake recipe for my daughters birthday. This one looks & sounds delicious, the only thing is I have never heard of canola oil. Can some one please help me out or let me know if it can be substituted for something else. Thanks

      Hi Annie! Canola oil is very easily available here in the US. Please substitute canola oil with vegetable oil.

    Hi Biren, can I omit the banana? I dont have it at home and am too lazy to make a trip out to get it. If so, do I need to substitute it with anything? Thanks.

      The flavor would be different but I suppose you could do that. You may have to compensate by increasing the amount of flour used.
