Got this off FB a while back and finally made it yesterday. It's so good! Shared it with some friends and they all raved about it (hoping they weren't just being nice but I thought it was unexpectedly good.)

2 c all purpose flour

2 c sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

pinch salt

1 - 20 oz can crushed pineapple (undrained) in its own juice (not syrup)

1 c chopped nuts, optional

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1/2 c butter

1 - 8 oz block cream cheese, softened

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 c confectioners sugar

coconut for garnish

Mix all of cake ingredients in a bowl. Pour into greased 9x13 baking dish; bake at 350 for 40 minutes until top is golden brown.

Frosting:

Beat butter, cream cheese, and vanilla together until creamy. Gradually mix in confectioners sugar. Frost cake with frosting while still warm (not right out of the oven but I let mine sit about 20 minutes). Sprinkle with more chopped nuts and coconut.

I let mine totally cool before cutting, the batter is really soupy so the cake was crumbly when warm. Chilling it made it much easier to cut. I used pecans; macadamias would have been good but a lot more expensive than pecans. Always have pecans in my freezer, so I used the cup in the batter and another cup on top.

This looks good and might be a nice change from carrot cake. Thanks!

I copied the recipe.  Hopefully, after my mouth has healed up I'll be able to enjoy this cake!  It does sound like a great dessert to make for the holidays too.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us.❤️ 🍍🍍🍍

I was just in Hawaii in June and picked up a piece of "Hawaiian Pineapple Cake" at a local market there. I was blown away with how good and moist it was. Have been hankering for it since, but had no idea how to make it. Thissure sounds like it ot me. I am writing it down and making it. Thanks!
