Ingredients:
 
 
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup coconut
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple with juice


1 (8 oz.) pkg cream cheese
1 1/2 cup powdered (icing) sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla
 
Directions:

Thoroughly mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, making sure to scrape the sides occasionally. Once everything is mixed well, pour the batter into a greased 13 x 9 inch rectangular cake pan.
 
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden tooth pick inserted in the center comes out completely clean. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack and let the cake cool to room temperature.

While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by puting the ingredients in a mixing bowl and blending well. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all the ingredients are completely mixed in.

Once the cake has completely cooled, apply the frosting to the top and garnish with chopped nuts, coconut or chopped fruit if desired.

Note:

For an added coconut taste, you can add 1 tsp of coconut extract in the cake and 1/2 tsp coconut extract in the frosting.
