I have a very old recipe from Aunt Blanche that I changed up. I added Pineapple, raisins and used less butter. I tweaked it by adding other ingredients. I also decided to add a tasty pineapple coconut frosting as well . I guess that means i changed most of the recipe. Lol. This cake is sweet moist and decadent. It is equally delicious just dusted with powdered sugar. Easy way to cut calories. The Pineapple coconut frosting really puts it over the top. Enjoy all!
