ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!! Easy to make, and wonderfully moist. I make coconut icing to top it off. And the cake dissappears within the afternoon of baking.

Wonderful! I didn't have crushed pineapples but rings instead.. so I crushed those up myself. I reserved about 1/4 cup of the juice, which I originally planned to add to the frosting but found that the frosting was perfect as is. Instead I brushed it over my cake with a pastry brush after baking. I found that my cake was done sooner than the recipe stated... I took it out as soon as it turned a dark brownish color on top, which scared me at first as I thought it had burned a bit but it was perfect! The cream cheese frosting & texture of the cake reminded us a lot of carrot cake. It was absolutely fabulous & will definitely make this one again!

This cake is fabulous!!! I can't comment on the cream cheese frosting, as I made my own, but the cake turned out wonderful. All I had was a can of sliced pineapple rings, so I crushed them by hand and drained enough juice so it was the consistancy of a can of crushed. The cake doesn't rise as much as other cakes but it looks and tastes fine, and as for those who said it was hard you must have overcooked it - this recipe yielded a very nice, moist cake that would be fine even without frosting. Thanks!

I've been making this cake since I was a girl. Everyone always loves it! It's so moist and chewy. The cream cheese icing is what makes it "killer". Beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 1/2 cup 10x sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Spread over cooled cake and watch it fly outta the pan!

this has been one of my favorites for almost my entire life. To add a little something else to the frosting, reserve 1/4 C. of pineapple (draining as much juice as possible into the cake) and mix in before you frost. This cake never lasts around my house!

Delicious! Others are right in saying that it's very moist and even 'gooey', but that's what I LIKE in a cake! It took only a couple of minutes to prepare. I also just made my own simple white icing instead of the cream cheese stuff (as I find that cream cheese costs an arm and a leg) and it was awesome.

I was going to post this recipe myself. It's one of my favorite cakes to make. It literally takes minutes to throw together the ingredients. I use 15 oz of pineapple, though. I also don't add the vanilla extract to the cake itself. It's up to you. Maybe the cake wouldn't be flat if you cut the pineapple amount to 15 oz? I have never used a full 20 oz can. I also use 1 cup of powdered sugar for my icing. Again, it's up to you. It's a dense cake that goes great in the winter months with a cup of coffee.

This recipe has no oil in it, which is the reason for the "tough, chewy, bar-like texture" and the no-rise problems that the other reviewers talk about. A cake usually needs some fat (more than what's just in the eggs) to provide moisture, flavor, and stability to the cake structure. Fat is an essential part of any cake. I wonder if the author simply forgot to add the oil to the recipe?

I can literally eat the whole cake in the matter of a couple of days. If you want to cut back on cholesterol, just use egg whites (I used 3) instead of the 2 eggs. Fantastic cake...

It may be quick and easy, but not very good. Everyone found it to be a rather tough chewey texture. The icing and the moistness were the only things that saved it. I won't make it again.

Cake does not bake properly. Does not rise like a regular cake. Stays sticky and glue like. Has an unbaked texture and taste. Frosting is excellent and can be used as a filling as well as a frosting.
