Humdinger Cake

Very much like the hummingbird cakes, this recipe starts with a Betty Crocker® cake mix for a quick and easy, moist, and tasty dessert. Garnish with pecan halves or coconut.

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup water
• 1 cup chopped pecans (Optional)
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
• 1 cup shredded coconut (Optional)
• 1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
• 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add cake mix, eggs, and water; mix until batter is just combined. Stir pineapple and bananas into batter. Fold pecans and coconut into batter; pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool cake in the dish for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Spread cream cheese frosting over cooled cake.
