Ingredients
Cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups of sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 20 ounce can crushed pineapple, with juice
- 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts, divided
- 1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 5 tbsp butter, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp thick whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, soda and mix.
- Beat eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla in a mixer bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix.
- Add pineapple with juice, chopped nuts, coconut flakes and mix.
- Spray a baking pan with oil, pour the dough and bake at 350 F. After an hour, check the cake for readiness by inserting a toothpick in the center.
- For the glaze, whip the butter, cream cheese, whipping cream, vanilla and powdered sugar in a mixer.
- Glaze the completely cooled cake and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Put in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Notes
- Adjust the size of the pineapple slices yourself. You can leave large pieces or chop finely.
- You can use nuts to your taste - pecans, walnuts, or almonds.
- Coconut flakes I prefer to do myself. To do this, you need to buy a fresh coconut and open it. Take out all the white flesh, peel off the brown. Then grate or grind in a blender.
- The cake will rise by at least 1 cm during baking, so keep this in mind. Choose a large and deep cake pan. Or divide the dough in a flat, bake two cakes and make a two-layer cake.
- If the top of the cake is browned too quickly, cover it with a sheet of foil and continue to bake.
