We stumbled on this recipe in one of my mom’s cookbooks last year. We all love pineapple so we gave it a go. Now it’s a favorite. Easy to make, easy to eat, and easy to put on extra pounds if you consume too much!
Ingredients
CAKE:
2 c sugar
3/4 c vegetable oil
2 lg eggs
1 can crushed pineapple (20 oz can) in its own juice or heavy syrup
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
ICING:
1 pkg cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
1 stick margarine or butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c powdered sugar
Directions
1. For the cake: Mix ingredients together by hand and pour into a greased 13×9 baking pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes (the cake may appear underdone because it is so moist).
3. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely before adding the icing.
4. Beat the cream cheese, margarine, or butter for the icing. Add vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating between each addition until smooth.
5. Spread on cooled cake. Refrigerate any leftovers or before serving if not serving until later.
