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
1 1/4 cup oil
3 eggs, beaten with mixer
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces crushed pineapple, with juice
1 1/2 cup chopped bananas
1 cup chopped apples
3/4 cup coconut
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
Princess Diana’s Wedding Cake Frosting
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
Mix oil and vanilla extract into cream cheese. Add powdered sugar. Mix well.

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.
soo cool
Thanks….
wait, so both recipes are cake frosting and not the cake itself????
No.The first one is for the cake – but I had it marked as “Frosting” as well – so you saved the day by pointing out the discrepancy Thank you.
