This recipe was a hit with all the adults, but the kids did not like it too much. They did eat all the frosting though :) We paired it with a Mexican dinner and it was delicious! Actually, we still have some leftover in the fridge and it works great as a breakfast too with a little glass of milk. The cake is rich, so we have only been eating tiny pieces! Let me know if you make it, or have a spin on this recipe. I'd love to hear!
Cake Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice
1 cup pecans, chopped
Frosting Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 stick unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In large bowl, stir all cake ingredients together by hand. I mixed mine with my Kitchenaid stand mixer and it worked perfectly. Spread evenly in 9x13-inch glass baking dish and bake for about 40 minutes. Do not to the toothpick test, because the cake will remain moist with the pineapple juice, that's how you want it!
While cake is baking, make frosting.
In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, margarine, and vanilla until smooth. Add sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
Pour frosting over the cake immediately upon taking the cake out of the oven. Cool the frosted cake in the refrigerator.
Bon Appetit!

That sounds really interesting! I would make it except the husband doesn't like pineapple. :)
