Banana Split Cake Bars

Banana Bread

I got this recipe form my mother-in-law. Bananas, crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries are all baked into a cake. A light, buttery frosting is applied, and the cake is cut into bars for snacking.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup maraschino cherries, halved
¼ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons milk

Description

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and pour in the crushed pineapple, eggs, oil, bananas and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in the cherries. Mix well and pour into prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Frost cake while still warm.
To make the frosting: in a medium bowl, combine melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Beat in milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
