Humdinger Cake Recipe
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
- 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread cream cheese frosting over cooled cake.
