We stumbled on this recipe in one of my mom's cookbooks last year. We all love pineapple, so we gave it a go. Now, it is a favorite. Easy to make, easy to eat, easy to put on some extra pounds if you consume too much!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This pineapple cream cheese cake is moist, tender, and extremely easy to make. Pineapple adds a refreshing, slightly tangy twist to the sweetness of the cake. It's iced with a creamy and velvety cream cheese frosting that makes this simple cake deliciously rich.
