Banana-pineapple spice cake under cream-cheese frosting, the Southern favourite. The kind of simple, generous cake that disappears before it cools. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
