This cake is sooo good! I used walnuts instead of pecans because that’s all I had and it turned out great!
I love that you made it work with walnuts! Sometimes you gotta improvise, right? The bananas and pineapple sound so good together!
Walnuts? I don’t think that’ll taste as good as pecans. But hey, if you liked it, that’s all that matters! Still looks yummy.
