Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in vanilla, pineapple, bananas, and 1 cup of toasted pecans. Spoon batter into 3 well-greased (with shortening) and floured 9-inch round cake pans.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans onto wire racks, and cool completely (about 1 hour).

Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter. Spread one cup of the Cream Cheese Frosting over cake layer. Top with the 2nd layer and spread 1 cup frosting over cake layer. Top with 3rd layer and spread top and sides with remaining frosting. Arrange toasted pecan halves in a circular pattern over top of cake.
