pineapple sheet cake

pineapple sheet cake

cake:

2 c. flour

1 c. sugar

2 tsp. baking soda

1 20-oz. can crushed pineapple in it's own juices

(don't drain)

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs, beaten

frosting:

8-oz. cream cheese, soft

1/4 c. butter or margarine

1 3/4 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

p.s. coconut or any nuts on top, is to die for!

preheat oven to 350 degrees.

mix flour, sugar, and baking soda.

add pineapple in juice, vanilla, & eggs.

pour into sheet pan (11x17-in. cookie sheet with sides).

bake for 25 minutes.

**it's gonna look like it's getting too done, but it's not. let it go for 25 minutes exactly. it's the sugars in the pineapple crystalizing that makes it look like it's burnin'! 

while the cake is baking, mix all the frosting ingredients together.

spread over the hot cake (that's the secret) and cut into bars when cool.
