A few Swedish pineapple cake recipes call for self-rising flour. You can use it, but your cake will be taller and more "cake-like." I've made it this way, but prefer all-purpose because it's much moister. I made this Sunday for company and there's one tiny piece left that I plan to enjoy tonight (not sharing!). :-)

This pineapple cake sounds delicious. Almost like a carrot cake minus the carrots ! I wonder what effect using a can of frosting instead of from scratch would have on consistency? Guess the best way to find out would be to try it. Thanks for recipe!

You could use a can of cream cheese frosting. BUT, the homemade frosting is SO good. It's worth making. msbytemeee

Souuns delish Do you mean to use whole can of pineapple including juice or just pineapple straight from tin without draining . Thanks

Whole can of pineapple with juice.

Mary Lowe

This sounds very good. Would like to comment to "msbytemeee" question about using canned frosting. Believe me, I have been baking for most of my 79yrs and there is no comparison between canned and homemade frosting. If you want to do your cake justice, take the extra time and make your own frosting.

Thanks for your comments. Will make my own frosting for sure. Drop by in a few hours and we can enjoy some with tea.

I agree! Nothing like homemade frosting.

My mom made this cake in my youth. But we called it swedish nut cake. One of my favs

Bill Heleine

This sounds delicious! Definitely will be making this soon!

So glad! Hope you like it. It's one of my all-time favorites. Has it for the first time over 25 years ago at a family holiday party. Tracked down the aunt that made it and got her recipe. She has passed, so it's even more special now.

Instead of nuts on top, would coconut taste good on this cake?

Yes! That would be delicious.

I just finished the cake and it is cooling! I can't wait to try it later today! I did a few things differently. I added a 1/3 cup of Coconut and poked some holes in the warm cake before frosting it so the frosting would melt in the cake.

You are going to love this cake! Love the addition of coconut and poking holes is so smart! Let us know what you think. Enjoy!

I couldn't wait any longer LOL! This cake is DELICIOUS!!

Woop! So glad you are enjoying it! It's one of my favorites (my mother-in-law actually asked me for the recipe!). :-) I am working on your meatloaf recipe right now. I am loving all the recipes you are submitting.

Is this recipe a joke? After buying all the ingredients, it’s going in the garbage. 35 minutes and the center was still soup. 45 minute and the center was still not done but the outside was over cooking. Thought, maybe it’s like brownies. Nope. Put the icing on and it sunk in the middle and pushed all the uncooked goop up on the sides.

I have made recipe literally hundreds of times. It comes out perfect every single time. I am sorry that something happened along the way to make your cake fail. Maybe your oven wasn't hot enough? I assure you it was not the recipe. So sorry that this happened to you, though.

Well Donna I made this cake again yesterday. Not only did it come out perfect again but it's half GONE!! That should tell you something! LOL!
