Dr. Bird Cake

3 c. SR flour

1 t. cinnamon

2 c. sugar

1 c. oil

1 1/2 t. vanilla

3 eggs

3 bananas, diced (may substitute applesauce instead, about 1 3/4 c.)

8 oz. crushed pineapple

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9x13 pan. Sift together dry ingredients. Add undrained pineapple, oil, vanilla, eggs, and bananas. Mix until blended. Do not beat! Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes before removing. (or leave in pan if desired)

*This cake is a lot like another recipe I have on the blog for Hummingbird Cake. Hummingbird cake has a cream cheese icing with chopped pecans.

In Jamaica, Hummingbirds are the national bird and they are called Dr. Birds. Hence the name of this cake!
