  • Overripe bananas – don’t use yellow peel bananas but don’t use black rotten bananas either, generously speckled bananas will taste best.
  • Fresh pineapple – I love this cake with fresh Dole pineapple (and you can just eat the leftover) but canned, drained pineapple will work too if you don’t have access to good fresh.
