Time 50m

Yield 1 9x13 Cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 slice margarine
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir in the Eggs and Pineapple.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9x13 pan.
  • Sprinkle the Coconut and Brown Sugar over the top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40 min--or until cake is slightly browned on top and passes the "toothpick test".

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives the cake a more intense flavor and a moister texture. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before adding it to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for pineapple cake. It's sweet, tangy, and creamy.

Conclusion:

This super simple pineapple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a simple yet impressive dessert, give this pineapple cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
