Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Prepare three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large mixer bowl, beat together butter, oil, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then add egg white. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and chopped pecans gently.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 27-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until creamy.
- Assemble the cake: Level the cakes if necessary, spread frosting between layers, and frost the outside of the cake. Decorate as desired.
