Friday was Good Neighbor Bobby's 64th recipe.
I never mark it on my calender
because he always tells me
when he's out with Buster
and I'm out with Dixie.
Bobby knows I'll bake him a cake,
so he's always sure to let me know
when it's his birthday.

The ingredients for my Pineapple Cake:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs
1 15 oz. can crushed pineapple
1 TB vanilla

Mix all together.

Pour into a buttered 9 x 13 pan.

Place in a preheated 350 degree oven.
Oh wait.
I can't ...

... because the temperature
is only 315 degrees.
This is what I love about this recipe.
The batter is in the pan.
And as always,
the cake batter is ready
before the oven reaches temperature.
Remember, I'm setting everything up
and taking pictures all this time, too.
I noticed the other time I made this
the temperature only got to 265 degrees.
WHOOT!!!!!

Bake for 35 minutes.

Ingredients for the icing:
1 stick butter, softened
1 stick cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioner's sugar
vanilla

Mix all until creamy and smooth.

Be sure the cake has cooled before frosting,
else the frosting will just melt off.
I cut the cake almost in half
(Yes, I kept the bigger piece
for my Hawthornelets.)
and started frosting Bobby's "half."

Talk about a moist, excellent cake.

There's Bobby's frosted half
and what's left of the Hawthornelets' "half."
Middle Hawthorne ate that much cake
before it was even frosted.
If you ever need a quick, delicious cake
to whip up in no time,
this is it.
I am trying this tonight !!! It looks so good...
ReplyDeletedle, let me know how you like it.
ReplyDeleteI think you will be pleased.
I'm going back to edit the post,
since you need to cool the cake
before frosting.
I can, like, totally vouch for this cake, as Rosie also made it for my last birthday. It is yumm-o (sorry Rosie).
ReplyDelete....oh my goodness this cake IS/WAS so good....I cooled the cake before frosting anyway since I got busy. I thought I would take some to work today, but there wasn't any left...so to quote a friend..."tastes like more"
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet that you bake a birthday cake for your nice neighbor!
