Judi's Pineapple Cake

On my birthday this year, my friend Judi sent me an apron. I was so touched when I unwrapped it and noticed that she had included a hand-written recipe card, tucked in the apron pocket just like my mom used to do. {If you missed yesterday's post, you can read it by clicking here.} ♥

I couldn't wait to try Judi's recipe, and let me tell you, this one's a keeper! I baked it to take to our friend's house last weekend and it was a big hit. Then I took the rest of it to work the next day where it was gobbled up and the recipe was requested.

This is a moist and dense cake that's very easy to throw together. Wow - you've gotta' try this cake!

Judi's Pineapple Cake

Mix the following together in a large bowl:

2 eggs, beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups sugar

2-1/4 cups flour

1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple

2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup chopped nuts

 

Bake in an ungreased 13 x 9" pan at 350° 30-40 minutes (my oven took 30 minutes).

 

For the frosting, combine:

1 8-ounce package cream cheese

1/4 cup oil (I used butter)

1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups powdered sugar

Frost cake while still hot, and sprinkle with chopped nuts.

 

Yum, yum, YUM!!!
