I was making two slow cooker entrees, so I decided that I could turn the oven on for an hour and not heat up my kitchen too much. My Dad loved to make this cake for company, potlucks, and for just general eating. He always said it was easy to remember because it took 2 of everything.
Ingredients
2 c sugar (may cut the sugar to 1 cup – 1 1/2 cups as it is very sweet)
2 c all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c nuts – walnuts or any that you prefer
1 can(s) 20 ounces crushed pineapple – undrained (i use pineapple in it’s own juice)
FROSTING
Directions
1 CAKE: Combine dry ingredients; add remaining ingredients and mix by hand.
2 Bake in a 9 x 13 prepared pan at 350 degrees for approximately 30-45 minutes. Do not over bake or it will be rubbery, but still delicious ?
3 FROSTING: Mix well and spread on cake in pan. Enjoy!
* If you would like to save calories, instead of using the frosting, just sprinkle top of cake with a bit of powdered sugar and enjoy!
* There is NO milk, butter, or oil in the cake.
* You may add other fruits or coconut if you like: some suggestions are: dried cranberries, raisins, currants, tub of mixed dried fruit, and even fresh blueberries.
* I suggest that you may cut the sugar to 1 cup as it is very sweet. I often cut the sugar in recipes.
