Number Of Ingredients 16

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts, divided
1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside. Combine sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined. Add pineapple (undrained), 1 cup chopped pecans and coconut and continue mixing on medium-low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined (about 1 minute). Spray a 13x9" baking pan with cooking spray. Pour cake batter into pan and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes or until cake is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake completely in pan then the frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans over cake. Store in refrigerator. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Whip cream cheese, butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in powdered sugar (add more if necessary to reach desired consistency - if your kitchen's hot, you might need more because the butter will be softer). Makes enough to top one 13x9" cake - double recipe if using on a layered cake.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the cream cheese and butter. This will ensure that your cake has the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly and create a light and fluffy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have time to make the cream cheese frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead.

Conclusion:

Preacher cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy cake layers and creamy frosting, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give preacher cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
