Pineapple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Pineapple cake with Cream Cheese frosting is an extended pineapple upside down cake recipe. This has the same good flavor of the later enhanced by the richness of the cream cheese frosting and the delicious taste of chopped walnuts.

Preparing pineapple cake is not complicated. You should be able to successfully make one for yourself if you stick to the recipe. As for the cream cheese frosting, I used the same cream cheese from our carrot cake recipe. I like it because I thought that it had the right amount of sweetness.

Note that before applying any icing or frosting on any cake, make sure that the cake is not hot or the frosting will melt instantly. It will also help if you refrigerate the cake for a few hours after applying the frosting or icing. After all, it is always nice to eat chilled cake.

You should enjoy dessert by indulging in your own creations. It feels good to accomplish something that awesome such as making yourself this luscious pineapple cake.
