Ingredients
| 1 | (18 ¼ ounce) boxed white cake mix (DO NOT get the kind with pudding in it) or boxed yellow cake mix (DO NOT get the kind with pudding in it) |
|---|---|
| 1 | (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained |
| 2 | medium bananas, peeled and mashed |
| 10 | maraschino cherries, chopped |
| 2 | teaspoons maraschino cherry juice |
| ½ | cup water |
| ½ | cup canola oil |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 1 | teaspoon cinnamon |
| 1 | (16 ¼ ounce) can cream cheese frosting |
Instructions
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a large mixing bowl, carefully combine all the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed. |
| 3. | Divide the batter equally between two greased 9" round cake pans. |
| 4. | Place the pans in the middle of the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 5. | Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and let them cool completely on wire racks. |
| 6. | Position one cake as the base on a serving plate and generously frost it with cream cheese frosting, focusing on a heavier application on the top. |
| 7. | Gently place the second cake on top of the frosted base to create a layered effect. |
| 8. | Frost the top cake generously to blend with the bottom layer, creating a visually appealing two-tier cake. |
| 9. | NOTE: If the cakes have domed tops, use a long knife to level them before frosting to ensure a uniform appearance. |
