Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease then flour three 8-inch cake pans. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a bowl. Add eggs, vanilla, oil, milk, and mashed banana and whisk to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Stir in pecans and pineapple.
