Nutty Pineapple Cake

SERVES: 24

COOK TIME: 30 Min

There's something "nutty" about this cake, and we think it has to do with just how good it tastes! Pineapple and walnuts come together to make a delicious moist cake, with a bit of a crunch. And the homemade cream cheese frosting is really just "the icing on the cake!"

What You'll Need

1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, softened
1 (16-ounce) package confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and flour.
In a bowl, stir together crushed pineapple with juice, sugar, and eggs. Add flour, baking soda, and walnuts. Spread mixture into baking dish.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
To make frosting, in a bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla. Spread over cooled cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Note

If you want to sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top of the frosted cake, go right ahead! It'll only add to the "OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!®" of this great cake!

can a box cake mix be used instead of the usual ingredients for a cake?

Hello! Yes, a box cake mix can be used in this recipe. You will still need to use the eggs, pineapple with juice, and walnuts if desired. Hope this helps!
