Recipe submitted by DaVita renal dietitian Laura from Georgia.

Portions: 20     Serving size: 1/20 of cake

Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose white flour
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking soda
    • 2 eggs, beaten

    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, softened

Preparation

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. Combine flour, sugar, soda and eggs.

I made this tonight for my mother in law when she got out of dialysis and she loved it and so did the rest of my family. It was still baking while we ate dinner so it was hot out of the oven with the cream cheese icing and it was so good. I only made 1/2 recipe and it was just enough, with snack pieces left.

Very easy recipe and the icing gives it just the right amount of sweetness. Also keeps really well.

I love the pineapple cake. I love pineapple anyway and this cake is nice and moist. My husband likes it even better than I do.
