Received this recipe from someone at a family BBQ about 50 years ago and have been making it ever since. It's moist. I don't use the frosting but sometimes sprinkle with powdered sugar.

spread in a 9x13 greased pan.

Add sugar and mix.

Then add nuts and pineapple. (this frosting recipe came with the cake recipe, but I don't use it.)
