Easy Pineapple Cake Recipe

This Pineapple Sheet Cake is from one of my old cookbooks. It caught my eye because there are no eggs in the cake. I thought that sounded very interesting and decided to give it a try for dessert. OMG! It was SO good! I was skeptical since there weren’t any eggs in the cake batter, but it was really delicious! The cream cheese frosting really puts this easy cake recipe over the top

How to Make Pineapple Sheet Cake

This cake is effortless to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed pineapple with juice, sugar, flour, baking soda, vanilla, and finely chopped toasted pecans. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until combined. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish or cake pan with cooking spray. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, room temperature cream cheese, finely chopped toasted pecans, and vanilla extract. Spread the frosting on the hot cake immediately after removing it from the oven. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • To toast pecans, spread the nuts on a baking sheet and put them in a 350ºF oven for 5-10 minutes
  • Feel free to add some sweetened coconut to the cake and/or frosting.
    • Sometimes I sprinkle toasted coconut on top of the cake. 
  • This cake can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to serve. 
  • The cake is best served at room temperature. Take it out of the refrigerator a couple of hours before serving.
