Grandmother's Doctor Bird Cake

3 cups plain flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups cooking oil
1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 cups diced bananas (very ripe)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 in. tube pan and set aside. Sift together all dry ingredients. Add undrained pineapple, cooking oil, vanilla, eggs, and bananas. Mix until well blended. Do not beat. Pour into pan approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.

This was my grandmothers recipe. It was also my brother Chip's favorite cake as a little boy. Grandmother fixed this for him whenever he asked just liked she stopped to fix anything for all her grandchildren.
