RECIPE: Rec: Swedish Pineapple Cake

[melissa-dallas]

This is one of my mom's most requested recipes & it is so quick & easy, plus no cooling before frosting. As a bonus it is egg free so her vegetarian sister really loves her for making it for family gatherings. I like it cold when the leftovers have been stored in the fridge.

2 cups sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

20 oz can crushed pineapple, do not drain

1/2 to 1 cup chopped pecans

Pour in a 13 X 9 pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 350 for 30 to 45 minutes, until top is brown & springs back. Immediately after removing from oven top with the following frosting:

3/4 up GRANULATED sugar

1/2 cup softened butter

8 oz pkg softened cream cheese

1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Beat cream cheese & butter together, then gradually beat in sugar. Stir in nuts. Pour over & spread on top of hot cake.

Hmmm... what makes it 'swedish'? Almost sounds like a cinnamon roll but with pineapple!

Melissa, The amount for the Cream Cheese is missing. Please correct. Thank you!

 

[melissa-dallas]

You're guess is as good as mine. Have no idea where she got the recipe. She's made it for years.

Melissa, Thank you for the correction.

good catch, Gay - It wouldn't have been nearly as good with 1 oz. cream cheese *g*

 

[melissa-dallas]

Thanks for catching it.

LOL I was wondering the same thing. Pineapples swinging in the breeze in Sweden.
