By request of many people who’ve written to me from the February posting about how the cake tastes like, well…bit reminiscent of Sara Lee’s Banana Cake, sold frozen in tin pans – but pretty addictive…finally, the recipe of Diana’s cake….not Sara’s.
Princess Diana’s Wedding Cake Frosting
1 1/4 cup oil
3 eggs, beaten with mixer
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces crushed pineapple, with juice
1 1/2 cup chopped bananas
1 cup chopped apples

3/4 cup chopped nuts
Grease and flour the bottom of a long rectangular pan. Mix oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Sift the dry ingredients; add to mixture. Fold in pineapple, bananas, apples, coconut and nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes

Thanks….
I prefer the traditional British fruit cake with marzipan and a fondant frosting.
For anyone with a mouth full of sweet teeth, that Diana cake is pretty amazing – and like I said, without being factitious, a Sara Lee Banana Cake makes a damn good substitute for it – seriously.
