We're delighted that this pineapple cake made its way to New England. It's quick, easy, and absolutely delicious -- great for a party. The cake itself is so moist and full of flavor that it would be almost as good without the frosting.

Yield: 12 to 15 servings

• Cake:
• 2 cups all-purpose white flour
• 1-1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, with juice (do not drain)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• Frosting:
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, at room temperature
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan.

To make the cake, sift the flour and soda into a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix by hand. Pour into the baking pan.

Bake for 45 minutes or until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.

To make the frosting, combine all the ingredients and beat until smooth. Smooth over the completely cooled cake.
