Use up your ripe bananas by making this delicious Banana Cake with Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting! It’s a tropical-themed cake that is perfect for any occasion!<\/p>\n

I recently saw a meme stating that we buy bananas to watch them die a slow death. This sounds slightly depressing until you remember all the delicious things you can make with brown bananas! Things like Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread,<\/a>\u00a0Whole Wheat Banana Bread,<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Banana Nut Bars with Cinnamon Cream Frosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, this banana cake with a classic cream cheese frosting! But just to make it a little fancy, I’ve added some crushed pineapple to the frosting. And then sprinkled it with toasted coconut, because I couldn’t stop myself. Having all the flavors of a Pi\u00f1a Colada in a cake cannot be a bad thing! (Okay, Pi\u00f1a Coladas do not technically have bananas in them, but I think they should because bananas and pineapples should be married. They make the best flavor combo ever.)\u00a0If you just want a straight-up banana cake with cream cheese frosting, feel free to leave out the pineapple and coconut.<\/p>\n

This is a nice, big, fluffy cake made in a 9×13 pan. It’s perfect to take to picnics and parties.<\/p>\n

    How to Store Banana Cake<\/h2>\n

    You will definitely want to store this cake in the refrigerator, especially after frosting it. If left at room temperature, the frosting will begin to separate. Also, because this cake is so moist, you want to keep it cold to slow any bacteria growth. (In other words, just don’t leave it out on the counter for days). If you’re taking this to a picnic, don’t leave it out for more than two hours.<\/p>\n
