Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the eggs, vanilla extract, and undrained crushed pineapple. Mix until well combined.
    • Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Frost the Cake:
    • Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
  6. Serve:
    • Optionally, you can garnish the top of the cake with additional chopped nuts or even a drizzle of pineapple juice for extra flavor.
    • Slice and enjoy!

Notes:

  • This cake is incredibly moist due to the pineapple and pairs wonderfully with the tangy cream cheese frosting.
  • For an extra touch, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the frosting or top the cake with some toasted coconut flakes.

This Pineapple Nut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a delightful dessert, perfect for any occasion, and sure to impress with its rich flavor and moist texture.
