Super Fast Queensland Pineapple Cake (No Cake Mix)

Submitted by cookingpompom

"I am not sure when or where I got this recipe, but I love it and have made it probably close to 100 times. Super fast to cook and my kids love it in their lunch boxes. This cake isn't terribly high and doesn't require much sugar due to the natural sweetness of the pineapples. Queensland grows 100% of the pinapples grown in Australia and they are exported all over the world."

Great cake and I think it would be great in the morning with a cup of coffee. It is not a very sweet cake, so others (in US) may want to add more sugar, but with the icing, I found it sweet enough especially when you got a piece of the pineapple. I made 1/2 of the recipe and followed as written, except I did add a little bit of vanilla to the icing. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT8.

This is a very super easy cake. I had enough cans of pineapple chunks to make up 1 pound of pineapple. Made and baked the cake less than an hour ago and here I am stuffing my face. I don't recommend this as a breakfast by itself but it is super moist even without the frosting. How it rates long term, I don't know since I don't expect it to stay around that long. If you know what I mean :)
