Pineapple Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Realtor by day, Chef by night's Note:

We love this wonderfully sweet pineapple cake! It's absolutely luscious! It's so cold and refreshing on a hot summer day. Everyone loves this cake, especially my little girl. Make this the day before you serve it if you can. It gives the flavors a chance to blend.

I don't know why, but I just never entertained the thought of making a pineapple cake!This is a wonderful cake! With the cream cheese frosting, it just puts it over the top! I had some walnuts just begging to be used, so I put some in. I also kept a tiny bit of the pineapple juice to use in thinning the frosting just a tad. Thank you so much for this recipe! It's as keeper!
