a very yummy cake
 

A lovely lady that teaches quilting classes through our Parks and Recreation Department shared this with me. It is VERY good!

Preacher Cake



1c sugar

2c flour

2 eggs

2 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

½ c nuts (walnuts, or?)

20 oz can crushed pineapple undrained



Frosting



8 oz cream cheese softened

1 ¾ c powdered sugar

¼ c butter or margarine

¼ tsp salt

½ c nuts

2 tsp vanilla



Combine dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients, and mix. Bake in a 9 x 13 prepared pan at 350 for 30 to 45 min. DO NOT overbake or will be rubbery! Optional: add cranberries, blueberries, raisins. Instead of frosting, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

WHAT?? No butter or shortening ? I can't imagine a cake without it. I guess I've watched Paula Deen too much. I like the butter.

I have this recipe but it is called Grampas Pineapple Cake on the one i have and it sure is easy and YUMMMMMMY. The best part of it is you don't use a mixer for the cake part just the frosting. Making one on Tuesday for some dinner guests.

Sounds good!

that surprise me too. Hopefully mine turns out as good as the one I tried. Gotta love Paula too!

Sounds Delicious!

And you have to love the no butter, get enough in the icing. Sure does sound great.

Think of it like this, a cake without shortening or butter has got to have a few less calories and fat !

Sound just like one my grandmother used to make - she called it "No Shortening Cake" and it was delicious!

Oh, does this ever look good....
