Pineapple Cake

This is the easiest cake I think I have ever made! Super simple and excellent ! There is also no butter or oil in this cake! Throw all of the ingredients together and bake, that’s it! If you really want to keep it simple you can buy the frosting insead of making it!  I won’t tell anyone!

INGREDIENTS
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
1 (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple NOT drained. In its own juice, not syrup.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
1/2 cup of butter
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup of chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts, optional

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all of the cake ingredients together in a large bowl, mixing well. Including the juice from the crushed pineapple. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.  Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and baked through.

For the frosting, mix the cream cheese and butter together until well combined add the vanilla and slowly add the confectioners sugar mixing until well combined. Once the cake is cooled, frost and add the chopped nuts to the top if desired.

Enjoy!
