The Doctor Bird Cake is 'a cake that doesn't last'. Bananas and pineapple are just perfect together and the flavor gets better with time. Enjoy! sockbox10.com
Ingredients
  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and ½ cup cooking oil (I use 1 cup)
  • 1 8 oz can crushed pineapple with juice
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups diced bananas, should be ripe
Instructions
  1. Measure the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and sugar, and then sift together.
  2. Dice the bananas and measure. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add bananas, oil, vanilla, eggs and crushed pineapple with the juice. The mixture is stirred to blend but is not beaten. It is then poured into a well greased nine-inch tube pan and baked at 350 degrees for about one hour and 20 minutes. Test with a toothpick- it should come out clean. Set aside to cool on a rack.
  3. It's delicious with nuts added and I dust with powdered sugar.
