This sheet cake is perfect for serving to a crowd. It keeps so well that you can easily prepare it a day ahead and it will stay moist. I often bring it to church potlucks, and I have yet to take much of it home. &mdash;Kim Miller Spiek, Sarasota, Florida

Pineapple Sheet Cake

CAKE:

all-purpose flour

sugar

eggs

chopped nuts

baking soda

salt

vanilla extract

(20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained

CREAM CHEESE ICING:

(8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

butter, softened

confectioners' sugar

This is a yummy cake! I especially loved the cream cheese icing. I love nuts, so really enjoyed all the added flavor and texture from the nuts in and on this cake.

I&#039;m not sure why but when I checked the cake half way through to turn it, it was done.  I made a recipe and a third because I just had a 17 x 12 sheet pan.

I wondered how a cake with no butter/shortening/oil would turn out, but it was great. Used only half the nuts in cake and none on top. Just my own preference. The frosting was good, just too much of it. Maybe cut in half.

My mother-in-law, Judy (RIP) gave me this recipe almost 40 years ago...it always works out and it&#039;s always great!  you just need a pot of coffee or a gallon of milk to drink with each piece!  also, it&#039;s a sheet cake, use your cookie sheet, no BP needed, the soda is fine...it&#039;s not supposed to rise up and be fluffy....it&#039;s a sheet cake.  :)

Yum! This cake is fantastic!  Moist, really flavorful and easy to make.  I actually made it into cupcakes and took them to a party.   Everyone loved them and asked when I&#039;d be back with the next batch.

This is an excellent recipe; quick and easy with a fantastic taste.
I’m not sure as to why some are discrediting this recipe.
May I suggest the following to assist in a successful outcome:
1) use self rising flour
2) check EXPIRATION DATE of baking soda
3) nuts go rancid- are they fresh? Check the EXPIRATION DATE 
4) use the PROPER SIZE PAN
5) be sure your oven is CLEAN  - there is nothing in the recipe that would create “a horrible smell”
6) follow the recipe  - especially if you are a novice baker
7) the frosting recipe is listed directly after the cake recipe 

Thank you for this easy go to recipe

Excellent cake.  Recipe easy to follow and all ingredients are listed. I have made this cake many times  following the recipe as written and always get rave reviews.  Thanks.

This is a fabulous cake, some refer to it as Jailhouse Cake. The only differences in the recipe I use are 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the cake batter and  1-1/3 cup of powdered sugar in the frosting.

DELICIOUS !!!  Everyone I shared this with enjoyed it very much.  I’m making it again for a dinner party.  Since I have 2 daughters that are intolerant to gluten, so I used gluten free flour.  Oh, so good!

Very yummy. I didn’t have any nuts so I used a cup of quick oats. It made the cake deliciously chewy. The frosting was also far to sweet for us so I swapped it for a cup of whipped cream, 8 oz cream cheese, half a cup of sugar and a hefty splash, about 1 tbs , of vanilla essence. I would have liked more pineapple.
