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.

2 c all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla

3. Mix by hand until blended.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour into a prepared 9x13 baking dish.
5. Bake for approximately 30-45 minutes or until the cake is firm. Do not over bake or it will be rubbery, but still delicious.
6. Allow to cool.
7. FROSTING: Combine cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar.
8. Add nuts.
9. Mix well and spread on the cake in pan. Enjoy!

11. * There is NO milk, butter, or oil in the cake.
12. * 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.

Ingredients

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts, divided
1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Steps:

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside. Combine sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined. Add pineapple (undrained), 1 cup chopped pecans and coconut and continue mixing on medium-low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined (about 1 minute). Spray a 13x9" baking pan with cooking spray. Pour cake batter into pan and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes or until cake is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake completely in pan then the frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans over cake. Store in refrigerator. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Whip cream cheese, butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in powdered sugar (add more if necessary to reach desired consistency - if your kitchen's hot, you might need more because the butter will be softer). Makes enough to top one 13x9" cake - double recipe if using on a layered cake.

PREACHER'S CHOCOLATE CAKE

Preacher's Chocolate Cake image

I don't know where my mother got this recipe from but it is a wonderful rich moist chocolate cake. Frost with Recipe #110707 and it tastes just like Hostess Cup Cakes but oh so much better. Mom would make 2 layers - fill and frost sides with the Whipped Cream Frosting, then use regular chocolate frosting for the top. Milk anyone?
