The Best Swedish Pineapple Cake Recipe Is the Moistest Cake Ever Cakes/Cupcakes Desserts Fruit Snacks

Not sure why this cake is Swedish, but one thing's for sure, it is beyond delicious. If you take this moist Swedish pineapple cake recipe to a family get-together or potluck, be sure to print out a few copies of the recipe because requests are guaranteed. This is a wonderful dessert recipe to suit any occasion. And it really is the moistest cake you'll ever put in your mouth.

I remember tasting this cake for the first time at a family get-together. After my first bite, I am asking everyone who made it then letting my great-aunt know I needed the recipe. She delivered.

To make this moist Swedish pineapple cake recipe you will need flour, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, pecans, a can of crushed pineapple (check out the health benefits of pineapple), cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. The batter ingredients bake in a 13x9-inch cake pan, then the baked cake is topped with a sweet homemade cream cheese frosting.

Baking Note: You could use self-rising flour, which will make the cake more cake-like and a little taller. I've made it both ways and prefer all-purpose flour, though both are delicious.

Serve this easy homemade pineapple cake for dessert as a sweet snack with a cup of tea or coffee. This is one cake recipe you will make over and over again.
