Pineapple Cake




From: Sycamore Presbyterian Church Cookbook
2 c sugar
1 (No 2) can crushed pineapple and juice
2 c flour
1/2 c nuts (I used pecans)
2 eggs
1/2 c coconut
2 t baking soda

Icing:
1/2 c margarine
1 c powdered sugar
6 oz cream cheese (I used 8 oz. What would I do with 2 oz?)
1 T vanilla (This seemed like a lot. I used less)

Mix sugar, flour, eggs, soda and pineapple and juice together. Do not use mixer. Fold in nuts and coconut. Bake in greased 13 x 9 inch pan at 350' for 35 minutes.

Icing: mix margarine, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix well with beater and spread on hot cake. (Next time I will leave cake cool.)


Kristina: Presentation: 9 Taste: 9.5 Excellent taste, nice & moist, like the nuts in it. Serve with milk or coffee

Jessica: Taste: 9 Icing was good! Cake tasted like carrot cake. Good cake I'm not a fan of nuts but still good. I don't like pineapple cake. I'm glad it tasted like carrot cake. Very moist.

Chuck: Presentation: 10 Taste: 10+ Excellent

Patte: Presentation: 8 Taste: 9 I am going to make this cake again. Very good. Does taste a lot like carrot cake, but less ingredients.

I am sure Jessica meant the pineapple cake I make with angel food cake mix when she said she did not like pineapple cake.
