Recipe Introduction
I saw her picture of this cake and it looked so good that I made it the day after she posted the recipe. It is incredibly easy and delicious. One bowl, one spoon, five minutes. You can either frost this with cream cheese icing (that's what I did) or just dust with confectioner's sugar.
List of Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
10 ounces crushed pineapple
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Confectioner's sugar or Cream Cheese frosting
Recipe
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Either use a hand mixer or beat by hand until well blended. Bake in a greased and floured 8 x 8 pan at 350o for 30 to 35 minutes.
Her further notes: "I live in pineapple country so I haven't bought a can of pineapple in years. I cut the pineapple up in chunks and cook it for 5 minutes in my instant pot. I then chopped some of it up in the food processor, drain it, and measure out 10 oz. I then add 1/4 cup of the juice. I would think a 14 oz can of pineapple would be equivalent. Just make sure that you don't have more than one quarter cup of the juice or it doesn't bake right. When you bake it, this cake does not rise too high so it is done when the top springs back and it tests done with a toothpick."
