My daughter called about 2 hr. ago to thank me for this recipe...She made it for her inlaws and they loved it. The best part is it's SO EASY. Very moist!

SIMPLE PINEAPPLE CAKE
2 C. flour
1½ C. Sugar
2 eggs
1(20 oz.) can crushed pineapple (not drained)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 C. walnuts

Cream Cheese Frosting
2 tbl. Butter, room temperature
3 oz. cream cheese at room
temperature
1 C. powdered sugar
½ tsp. vanilla
milk

In a large bowl combine all cake ingredients and mix. Pour batter in a Pam sprayed 13 X 9 pan.
Bake at 350°F for 30-35 min. Remove and cool.


Frosting
Beat room temperature cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla and add enough milk to make the frosting smooth and spreadable

When I make the pineapple cake I double the recipe and bake the second batch in large muffin cups and then freeze them without the frosting for a quick sweet treat. Yes, everything is better with cream cheese frosting but if you are having a fatty attack these will do and you don't have to leave the house. Lazy me.

Thank you kindly CES......it's been a marvelous journey.

O.K. Here's another one. This recipe is probably from the 1950's era but a real keeper and oh so good. Another very moist cake. And yep, I double the recipe and make muffins to freeze for snaking on later. The muffins are great even without the frosting. Skip that donut in the morning and grab one of these out of the freezer on your way out the door, cheaper less calories and honestly better tasting with coffee JMHO. Anytime I take this cake somewhere new I pre-print recipe cards and take them with 'cause someone always wants the recipe. Enjoy...........

Oh, and CES, how many calories do we burn catching up/reading on the get-fit thead? :D

we expend the exact same number reading the recipes and drooling as we do reading about getting fit. :) we even expend a few calories gathering and mixing ingredients. :D

once we eat the cake all bets are off though :facepalm: then we actually have to do the stoopid exercizes....
