I think this banana cake would be perfect if made in brick oven firing wood. I'd love to have one, hopefuly very soon we'll get moving, just puttting material together. So for everyone who already enjoy cooking and baking in wood burning brick ovens here goes the recipe:

Pineapple Banana Cake
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
2 cups diced banana (about 2 medium bananas)

Into a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Stir in the oil, pineapple, vanilla, eggs, and banana. Mix by hand until well blended. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 350° for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.

Cream Cheese Frosting
1/4 cup butter
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions for cream cheese frosting

Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl - beat well until smooth. Makes enough cream cheese frosting for a 2-layer cake.
