Ruth Price's Pineapple Cream Cake: Ingredients:
CAKE:
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups crushed pineapple in heavy syrup, undrained
TOPPING #1:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts
TOPPING #2:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup half & half
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9 x 13 glass dish or spray it with PAM.
Combine sugar, vanilla and eggs in a bowl.
Beat for 2 minutes.
Add flour, soda, salt and pineapple and beat at low speed for 1 minute.
Spread evenly in the pan.
Combine Topping #1 ingredients, mix well and sprinkle over top of cake.
Bake and test after 25 minutes.
While cake is baking, melt the butter and add the rest of Topping #2 ingredients.
Stir often until well mixed.
Remove cake from oven and immediately poke lots of holes in the cake with a fork-the more
the better.
Dip the fork in a glass of water if cake sticks.
Make sure Topping #2 is hot and well mixed and spoon it slowly over the top and down the
sides of the cake.
Cool the cake and store in the refrigerator, but serve at room temperature. It
freezes beautifully.
Thank you, Ruth, for this delicious cake! It
was devoured at the April 2002 Pansy Salad Supper. |
