Ingredients

  1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
  1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) vanilla flavor instant pudding & pie filling
  4 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  1 can (20 oz.) DOLE® Crushed Pineapple, 
  juice drained and 1 cup reserved
  2 medium, ripe DOLE Bananas, well mashed (1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
    Cream Cheese Glaze (recipe below)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Combine cake mix, dry instant pudding, cinnamon, reserved pineapple juice, eggs and oil in large bowl with mixer 2 minutes, or until blended.  Add crushed pineapple, bananas and nuts; mix just until blended.
• Pour prepared batter into 5 foil mini loaf pans sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.  Bake 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.  Cool completely.
• Drizzle Cream Cheese Glaze over cooled loaves.  Garnish with additional chopped pecans, if desired.


Cream Cheese Glaze:  Combine 2 oz. softened cream cheese with 1 tablespoon milk and 1/2 cup powdered sugar; drizzle over cooled loaves.




Variation:  Omit DOLE Bananas, substitute with 1 cup Maraschino cherries, drained and cut in half and remove ground cinnamon.
