Hummingbird Cake With Banana Glaze - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup chopped pecans
2 1/2 cups chopped bananas
Banana Glaze
1/2 cube butter, softened
1/2 banana, mashed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Combine 1st 5 ingredients in a large bowl; add eggs, and oil, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Add vanilla, pineapple, pecans, and bananas. Fold in with a fork - do not beat.
Pour batter into greased 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
For glaze frosting:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and beat until well mixed. Frost cake while hot - the glaze will melt over the cake. Yum!
Note: Don't feel like you have to spread all the frosting/glaze on the cake - just until it's the desired thickness. I put it on pretty generously and usually still have about 1/4 of a cup left. If you want it less sweet, then use less.
