I love one bowl recipes, and this one is no exception.
You spread the cream cheese frosting over it while it’s still hot, so the frosting melts and seeps into the cake, making it a little gooey and dense.
– I made this cake and it was wonderful!!!! The cake is moist and tender and pinapple-y ….. and the cream cheese frosting tastes like cheese cake!!! I’ll surely make this again!!
– I made this last night for our cookout today and it was AWESOME !!!!! Everyone loved it. It’s a keeper. Thank you for the recipe. 5 stars all the way. This has to be the easiest cake I ever made. I put crushed walnuts and shredded coconut on top. I see why it’s Blue Ribbon Worthy.
– I made the easy pineapple cake and took to the office yesterday It’s very easy and very sweet. But very good and easy. Everybody loved it and said make it any time. I would give this cake a Blue ribbon
