Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13x9" baking pan with non-stick spray (I use Baker's Joy), and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon).
- In a larger mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla. Use a whisk or wooden spoon to combine well. Mixture will be creamy.
- Sprinkle in dry ingredients and stir together until just incorporated (when no more streaks of flour remain). Mixture will be very dry and sticky.
- Add in crushed pineapple, walnuts and coconut and mix until combined. The liquid from the pineapple will transform the mixture into a normal batter consistency.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. When done, cake should be set in the center, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Set cake pan on a cooling rack and cool the cake, in the pan, until completely cool.
- MAKE THE FROSTING:
- In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, butter and vanilla and whisk or beat with electric mixer (if desired), until light and fluffy.
- Alternate drizzling heavy cream and adding powdered sugar, whisking/beating after each addition, until all sugar is incorporated into the frosting. If frosting is a little thick, add a bit more cream. If frosting is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- Use an offset spatula to spread frosting over the top of the cake.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts and a bit of flaked coconut if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can omit the coconut.2. Recipe from South Your Mouth
