Best Quick And Easy Cake Recipe

Here is the recipe I was talking about in my last blog...Several years ago I found it in our local newspaper.  After trying  the recipe, it became a favorite. Whenever I take it to a potluck, I am always asked for the recipe so usually have a few copies along.
   Ione's Hawaiian Wedding Cake.
1    twenty ounce can crushed pineapple with juice
2  cups flour;   2  cups  white sugar;   1 cup shredded coconut;    1 cup nuts (optional  )
2 eggs;   2 teaspoons baking soda
Combine all cake ingredients and mix well.  Pour into 9 x 13 inch pan and bake  30 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees F... Watch carefully  so it doesn't get  overcooked or burn.. Should be a medium brown color when done...
Icing....  1 stick  butter (1/2 cup)        8 ounces  cream cheese (I use  the whipped )
2 teaspoons vanilla;    1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Combine icing ingredients adding more powdered sugar if needed... Spread over cool cake.
This cake is good without icing also.. Good when warm, too.   I don't use nuts in the cake..  Enjoy...

Cleaning cupboards , etc.

When at last summer comes here and the weather gets too warm for me to be comfortable working outside, I try to find quiet things to do in the house.   I had saved  a few different magazines i.e. had  a one year subscription to  three or four then stopped each as they ran out.  Of course  the magazines had so many good recipes and articles that I could not bear to  let them go...Well, I was looking at them in their neat plastic crates and thought  there must be  a better way to use the space...maybe leave it empty?  So a few days ago  I set them all out..If I start a project I usually finish it in due time.. My Dad always said I had stick-to-itiveness.   So today I sat down with a stack of Family Circles.. Now I have a stack of recipes that I hope to try as I go along..There were so many that looked easy and good that I tore the pages out..Then saw some articles  that I thought would be good for me and a couple of others to read...So my  pile of magazines has gotten considerably smaller but  I just cannot help myself when I see good recipes...
Many years ago I saw a recipe in a local  newspaper  column..It looked so easy i.e. put it all into a bowl and mix then into a pan and bake.. I use that usually when I have to bring something to a potluck and everyone  is impressed and wants the recipe..I try to remember to have a few copies along so they can take  a recipe along home with them..  So, no matter how many recipes  I gather, I am always looking for another easy and good one..  Still have quite a few magazines to go through so will have to be very selective  as I read the rest of them. Maybe next  blog I will write out the special cake recipe.
