Pineapple Cake Recipe

This recipe is nearly the recipe that my mother-in-law gave me. It's delicious and we enjoy it a lot. It doesn't really need the frosting in our house, but in some homes it might. I have made it with and without nuts, it is wonderful either way. It is vegan without the frosting as well.

2 C flour (whole wheat or white)
2 c Sugar (or 1 1/2 cups honey)
2 eggs (or liquid lecithin)
2 tsp soda
2 tsp vanilla
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple (no need to drain, dump it all in)
1/2 tsp salt
Pecans or other nuts (optional)

Combine above and beat on high 3 minutes.
Pour into prepared a 9 X 13" cake pan.
Bake at 350 for 30 - 35 min.

Cream Cheese Frosting: (or use whipped cream)
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cube butter or coconut oil
2 C powdered sugar

Beat & spread.
