Southern Pineapple Cake

 Ingredients:

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Additional pineapple slices or chunks for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Combine Cake Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, eggs, crushed pineapple with its juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pineapple mixture, stirring just until blended.

Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes for round pans or 35-40 minutes for a 9x13-inch pan, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack.

Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy and smooth. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
