Here's another 1-2-3 cake, great for non gifted bakers like me. Takes a few minutes to put together and is surprisingly moist and delicious.  Great for a "what should I bake" Saturday morning. The cream cheese icing makes this delectable!

    Preheat the oven to 350.

Pineapple Cake
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
*1 cup chopped nuts (optional)


Mix everything in a bowl with a fork. Pour into a greased 9X13 inch pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes (until top is golden brown). Sprinkle with chopped nuts if you like them, pecans are great!

Cream Cheese Frosting
1 stick of butter, room temp
1 package cream cheese ( 8oz. or 250 grams)
3/4 cup to 1 cup confectioner's sugar (or more depending on your level of sweetness)
1 tsp vanilla

I usually microwave the cream cheese for a few seconds so easier to cream everything with a fork. 

KEY: Frost the cake when still warm, it seeps into the cake...deadly!

This yummy cake will become one of your go-to's, I promise!
