2 c sugar (may cut the sugar to 1 cup - 1 1/2 cups as it is very sweet)
2 c all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c nuts - walnuts or any that you prefer
1 can(s) crushed pineapple - undrained (I use pineapple in its own juice), 20 oz
FROSTING
1 pkg cream cheese - softened, 8 oz
1 3/4 c powdered sugar
1/4 c butter or margarine
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c nuts - walnuts or any that you prefer
2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. CAKE: Combine dry ingredients.
2. Add remaining ingredients.
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!
10. * If you would like to save calories, instead of using the frosting, just sprinkle the top of the cake with a bit of powdered sugar and 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.
