Description

The Best Ever Cake is perfect any night of the week, but tasty and easy enough to make for guests! The natural sweetness of the pineapple goes beautifully with the barely-there tang of the cream cheese frosting and smooth nutty flavor of the walnuts. Plus, you can ice the cake while it is still warm!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 can (20 Oz. Can) Crushed Pineapple, Undrained
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • 1 stick Margarine
  • 1-½ cup Powdered Sugar

Preparation

1. Grease and flour a 9×13 baking dish.
2. Preheat the oven to 300ºF.
3. Combine the walnuts, sugar, flour, baking soda, eggs, vanilla and pineapple in a bowl. Stir gently until combined, and then pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
4. Bake at 300ºF for 45–50 minutes. The cake should be golden brown and spring back to the touch. Prepare the icing while the cake is baking.
5. Beat the cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until combined.
6. Remove the cake from the oven, let sit for 10 minutes before spreading with the cream cheese icing.
7. Once the cake is room temperature, refrigerate until ready to serve.

My mother, 92 years old, had a similar recipe (addition of some nutmeg, cinnamon and a pinch of salt) that she loved. She lost her original recipe but had the name “Best Cake” and I searched for weeks. This is the cake!!! Made it for the 4th of July with the additions she suggested, and it was such a hit that I have made it again and today is only the 10th. Great for get togethers and parties. It served more than the suggested 10.

Super easy, moist, tasty, and even though I don’t like cream cheese frosting’s, I must say yours is light and unique and darn good. Thanks for sharing this recipe that I will definitely be making often.
