Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray three 9″ round cake pans with cooking spray, cover bottom of cake pans with parchment paper and then lightly spray parchment paper with cooking spray.
  2. Finely chop pecans and place on a baking sheet. Toast for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose gluten free flour mix, xanthan gum (if not in mix), granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon,and nutmeg.
  4. In another bowl or stand mixer, combine eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the crushed pineapple and juice.
  5. With mixer on low, add the dry ingredients a little at a time to the wet ingredients until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  6. Add the diced bananas and one cup of the finely chopped pecans to the cake batter and mix just until incorporated.
  7. With a one cup scoop, equally divide the batter evenly between the three pans.
  8. Bake in a 350° oven until the top springs back from a light touch and a tester inserted into the center of the cake come out clean.
  9. Allow cakes to cool on racks for 5 minutes before removing them from the pans. Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting. Chilling the layers before assembly will make the layers easier to handle.
  10. Fill and frost the layers by slicing each layer horizontally in half and stacking with a small layer of frosting in between each layer. If desired, leave the layers whole, stacking with frosting in between each layer
