PREACHER CAKE – The Essential: World's Finest Recipes

*My Dad loved to make this cake for company, potlucks, and for just general eating. He always said it was easy to remember because it took 2 of everything.

Ingredients

2 c sugar (may cut the sugar to 1 cup – 1 1/2 cups as it is very sweet)

2 c all-purpose flour

2 eggs

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 c nuts – walnuts or any that you prefer

1 can(s) 20 ounces crushed pineapple – undrained (i use pineapple in it’s own juice)

FROSTING

1 pkg 8 ounce cream cheese – softened

1 3/4 c powdered sugar

1/4 c butter or margarine

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 c nuts – walnuts or any that you prefer

2 tsp vanilla

Directions

CAKE: Combine dry ingredients; add remaining ingredients and mix by hand.

Bake in a 9 x 13 prepared pan at 350 degrees for approximately 30-45 minutes. Do not over bake or it will be rubbery, but still delicious ?

FROSTING: Mix well and spread on cake in pan. Enjoy!

* If you would like to save calories, instead of using the frosting, just sprinkle top of cake with a bit of powdered sugar and enjoy!
* There is NO milk, butter, or oil in the cake.
* You may add other fruits or coconut if you like: some suggestions are: dried cranberries, raisins, currants, tub of mixed dried fruit, and even fresh blueberries.
* I suggest that you may cut the sugar to 1 cup as it is very sweet. I often cut the sugar in recipes.
