Assemble ingredients!!

Step 2 of 10

Line cupcake pan. Grease 2 cake pans with butter and lightly flour. Heat oven to 350.

Step 3 of 10

Combine flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt. Stir in nuts if needed. Set aside

Step 4 of 10

In a mixer, beat sugar, brown sugar, and eggs on high speed. Add in pineapple and bananas, oil, vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture. Divide batter into pans, bake at 50 minutes

Step 5 of 10

Note: I decided to not put the pineapple into the cake mixture this time. Instead I used it in the icing---- I used most of the juice and some of the pineapple for icing combined w the coconut flakes

Step 6 of 10

For the icing, use a mixer. Beat butter, cream cheese at low speed then add vanilla extract. Put in confectioners sugar 1 cup at a time, then mix at medium speed about 5 minutes

Step 7 of 10

Since I only made 2 layers for the cake I decided to use the extra to make cupcakes!!!

Step 8 of 10

Cool the cakes before flipping them out of the pans

Step 9 of 10

Once cooled, remove cakes from the pans. Layer them with the icing in between and on top. Mine turned out a bit runny this time but still tastes good ;)
