Banana and pineapple added to the batter are often found in recipes for charlottes, pies, cupcakes, and more, so don't be surprised if the flavor seems familiar. Banana puree gives the batter a delicate texture. A moister batter is obtained from soft, ripe bananas; if the banana is unripe, you can leave some whole pieces when mashing it. The banana-pineapple aroma imparts an exotic flavor to the cake, which pairs best with buttercream and a hint of lemon.

- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the flour mixture and the sour milk alternately to the creamed butter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat well after each addition until fully combined. Add the bananas and pineapple, beating until well combined. - Pour the batter into the molds, and to distribute it evenly, you can use a measuring cup or spoon it into the molds, alternating between them. Lightly tap each mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

- Spread frosting over the first two layers, then spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides. Sprinkle the cake with coconut and chopped nuts, if desired.
Preparing the glazeUsing a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, whisking constantly. Finally, add the lemon juice and vanilla.
