We were all excited about this, but it didn't turn out that great. We took it to a pot luck-type event, and no one complimented. Maybe the pineapple wasn't that sweet, and maybe it's cuz my husband grilled it (and not me) but it certainly did not meet our expectations.

I liked the cake. It is a heavy cake, but not as heavy as bread. I used 2 cups banana - it has to be ripe or over-ripe banana to achieve the flavor. Doubled the vanilla I baked it at 275 for 1-1/2 hours. I skipped the part about putting it in the freezer (not necessary!) We used 1/2 recipe for the frosting and topped with pecans that were caramelized in butter and brown sugar and a little cinnamon. Be careful with this one - a moment on the lip, a lifetime on the hip. It is a special occasion cake.

Delicious recipe - I used the sesame oil as well. I put the egg in after the cornstarch. Definitely a keeper. A soothing comfort food and great appetizer.
