It's a Godsend Cake (Better than Hummingbird Cake, by Collard Valley Cooks)

Cake:

3 eggs

¾ cup pineapple juice (from canned pineapple)

1 box Strawberry Cake Mix

½ cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature

3 pineapple rings, finely diced

2 bananas

½ cup flaked coconut

½ cup pecans, chopped

¼ cup buttermilk

3 8-inch cake pans, greased and floured

Frosting:

Cool Whip (or a cream cheese icing)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pastry bag and tip, if desired

Sliced strawberries to garnish

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In the bowl of a mixer, beat the eggs, then keeping the mixer running, add the pineapple juice, followed by the cake mix, the butter, the diced pineapple and mashed bananas, the coconut, pecans and lastly, the buttermilk (basically, add each ingredient in the order given above).

Grease and flour the cake pans and divide the batter evenly into the cake pans.

Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes or until a toothpick or fork comes out clean (fruit batters should be cooked at lower temperatures so they don't burn). Let cool before frosting.

For the Cool Whip, whip it on High speed until it's thicker, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, blending until mixed in.

Frost all three layers (watch the video for a fancy demonstration). Garnish with strawberry slices.
