Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
1 20- oz can crushed pineapple (with juice (do NOT drain))
1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts (divided)
1 cup flaked sweetened coconut
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
8 oz package cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup butter (softened (1 stick))
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
2-4 Tbsp heavy cream (amount depends on personal preference (heat, and humidity in the air - start with 2 and go from there))
2 cups powdered sugar (sifted or whisked to remove lumps)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13x9" baking pan with non-stick spray (I use Baker's Joy), and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon).
  • In a larger mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla. Use a whisk or wooden spoon to combine well. Mixture will be creamy.
  • Sprinkle in dry ingredients and stir together until just incorporated (when no more streaks of flour remain). Mixture will be very dry and sticky.
  • Add in crushed pineapple, walnuts and coconut and mix until combined. The liquid from the pineapple will transform the mixture into a normal batter consistency.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. When done, cake should be set in the center, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Set cake pan on a cooling rack and cool the cake, in the pan, until completely cool.
  • MAKE THE FROSTING:
  • In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, butter and vanilla and whisk or beat with electric mixer (if desired), until light and fluffy.
  • Alternate drizzling heavy cream and adding powdered sugar, whisking/beating after each addition, until all sugar is incorporated into the frosting. If frosting is a little thick, add a bit more cream. If frosting is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
  • Use an offset spatula to spread frosting over the top of the cake.
  • Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts and a bit of flaked coconut if desired.

PREACHER CAKE



Preacher Cake image

Dense and sponge-like, this simple cake is sweet, nutty, and delightfully moist. With pineapple being the predominant flavor of the cake, it almost has a tropical feeling. It's not overly sweet so the rich cream cheese frosting is the perfect contrast and complement to the pineapple cake. The nuts are optional but we loved the...
