FANTASTIC BANANA FRUITCAKE
This cake is very moist, it is the ultimate in fruit cakes, I think it's the pureed banana, along with the pineapple, that makes this fruit cake so extra special. Make sure that the crushed pineapple is very well drained before adding to batter, also this fruit cake can be succesfully baked in mini loaf pans (just cut down baking time), these cakes freeze well, and also taste better when left until the following day.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Combine sugar with all wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together. On medium speed, slowly beat the flour mixture into the wet mixture. Once the batter has been mixed thoroughly, reduce mixer speed to low and add your chopped nuts and raisins. Pour into a greased and floured 11″ x 9″ cake pan, and bake for approximately one hour.
- Check the doneness of the cake with a butter knife in the middle of the cake-if it comes out clean, it's ready. Let cool, then frost.
- In a small mug, dissolve the hot coffee in the hot water. Then, in a mixing bowl, whip the butter until it is soft before slowly adding the powdered sugar. Mix in the milk and vanilla, then add the coffee mix until it's soft and creamy. Pour the frosting on top of the cake and spread it out.
