This recipe comes from my brother-in-law's dad. We were all getting together and he had brought this cake for us. Yum! I immediately asked for the recipe, he knew it by heart. The first time I made it I forgot to add the sugar - it came out horrible. We both had a good laugh from that!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This pineapple walnut cake is a simple dessert to whip up whenever a sweet craving hits. The cake is moist, dense, and has a tropical feel. We liked the crunch of the walnuts. They combine to create a wonderful flavor and texture combination. It's frosted with a creamy, sweet, tangy cream cheese frosting. We sprinkled additional chopped walnuts over the cake before serving.
