Step 1: Preheat oven to 325F / 160C / Gas Mark3.
Step 2: Generously grease a 10" tube or a fluted tube pan.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Next remove 2 tablespoons of juice from the can of pineapple. Set this juice aside for the glaze.
Step 5: To the flour mixture, add the can of pineapple, the oil, eggs, banana, nuts, and vanilla. Stir until just blended. Do not beat.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the 325 degree oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a wire rack and remove the pan from the cake. Cool completely.
Step 7: To make the glaze: In a small bowl combine the melted butter or margarine with the powdered sugar. Add enough of the reserved pinapple juice to make a glaze of drizzling consistancy. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. For a glaze with a whole new dimension, try substituting rum for the pinapple juice.
