Easy Hummingbird Cake (From A Boxed Cake Mix)

• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) boxed white cake mix (DO NOT get the kind with pudding in it) or boxed yellow cake mix (DO NOT get the kind with pudding in it)
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
• 2 medium bananas, peeled and mashed
• 10 maraschino cherries, chopped
• 2 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 (16 1/4 ounce) can cream cheese frosting

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
3. Divide mixture equally between 2 greased 9" round cake pans.
4. Bake on both pans on middle oven rack for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes then remove cakes from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
6. Place one cake (the "bottom" one) on a plate and frost with cream cheese frosting, taking care to make it heavier on top.
7. Place the other cake (the "top" cake) on top of the already frosted cake to create a layer cake.
8. Frost the top cake so it blends with the bottom cake and forms a two-tier layer cake.
9. NOTE: If the cakes are not flat on the top, use a long knife to cut the "baking bump" off so they are flat BEFORE you frost them. It will give them a more uniform appearance.
