Hi Kathy! I haven’t personally made it in a bundt pan so I would just be sure to keep an eye on it as it bakes. 🙂

As I was mixing the flour in I noticed it was getting VERY thick. I cut back to 2 cups of flour. I used 9″ pans. They were baked and done in 22 minutes. I would suggest watching this closely so it wont get over cooked.

Hi Rebecca! I think it could work. The cake probably won’t be as moist.

Can I substitute something for the bananas? I have an allergy. I was thinking maybe apple sauce?

Hi Betty! That should work fine; just wrap the layers tightly in plastic before storing in an airtight container/ziploc. Enjoy!

This recipe is so delicious! One of the moistest cakes I have ever made!

Mine came out a little more banana-y, but that was b/c I used crushed pineapple in 100% juice instead of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup – realized it was all I had on hand after I started. Crushed pineapple in heavy syrup would’ve given more pineapple flavor (something my mom discovered when she created her carrot cake recipe). I also recommend using crushed pineapple in the size can stated in the recipe b/c divvying out the crushed pineapple & juice from a larger can proved harder than expected to get the right ratio – part of my crushed pineapple faux pas! But for me it says A LOT about a recipe when you can botch an entire ingredient & still get a perfect cake!

Also, I fit this recipe in 4 6-inch rounds & my bake time was ~36 min. I put all the pans in the same oven on the same rack all at the same time, so I’m not sure it would’ve taken as long if I had put in 2-3 at a time so take that FWIW – YMMV. The layers baked up to ~1 3/4 inches.

Hi Lynn! This will work in a 9 x 13 or as cupcakes, but I’m not sure on bake times. 🙂

Hi Fannie! You’ll need to increase the recipe by 50% for three layers 🙂

Hi Carolyn! This should work just fine in a 9 x 13. Your bake time will vary. 🙂

In reply to Dhannya Prakash.

Hi Dhannya! We’d suggest finely chopping your canned pineapple rings until you have roughly 1 cup of pineapple. Without knowing exactly how much juice is in crushed pineapple, you’ll probably be fine to add 1-2 tablespoons of leftover pineapple juice from your can. Thanks for commenting! Please let us know how it turns out. 🙂

Hi Sam. I live in a place where we do not get crushed pineapple as easily as sliced pineapple. The measurements also are different. My question is how much liquid and how much crushed pineapple would be there in your 8oz can? Love your recipes and can’t wait to try this one out.
