"Can you please bring a dessert?" Okay, this is AMAZING (and it isn't pumpkin!) It is way to make & it travels really well. This could be a fantastic addition to your #Thanksgiving meal and a great answer to that simple request.
Coconut Pineapple Pecan Cake
Delicious. Any time of the year!
Ingredients for Cake:
- 1 8oz. brick of cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon *
- cups powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions for Cake:
- Sift together flour, baking soda, salt; set aside. Combine sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined.
- Add pineapple (undrained), 1 cup chopped pecans and coconut, continue mixing on medium-low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Grease 13 x 9” baking pan. Pour cake batter into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until cake is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool cake completely in pan then the frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup chopped pecans over cake & serve.
Instructions for Frosting:
- Whip cream cheese, butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in powdered sugar until smooth & spread on cake. Makes enough to top one 13x9 cake – double recipe if using on a layered cake.
