Recipe: My Easy Pineapple-Walnut Snack Cake Can Make Your Weekend Extra Special

This cake stays moist and chalked with fruit and nuts.

This delicious recipe is perfect for anyone in the mood for an easy cake that can be whipped together without much trouble.  My Easy Pineapple-Walnut Snack Cake doesn’t require creaming butter and sugar or spending time with your mixer too long before it will be ready to go into the oven.  

You’ll find it stays moist from the crushed pineapple and has a delightful bit of chew from the walnuts and raisins.  

This cake is good plain or topped with your favorite creamy, white icing.  Whatever you prefer, you can’t go wrong because it tastes great either way.

Put it to the test sometime because it is very good, especially when you’re dying for a good cake but not the work that comes with making one.


Easy Pineapple-Walnut Snack Cake


3 large eggs
1-1/2 cups of sugar
1 cup of corn oil
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of baking soda, leveled
1 teaspoon of baking powder, leveled
½ teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 can (20-oz.) of crushed pineapple in natural juice (not drained)
½ cups of chopped walnuts
½ cups of raisins


Beat eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and oil in your mixing bowl first.

Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt next and add to the egg-sugar mixture.

Fold in your can of crushed pineapple and chopped walnuts next before pouring into a well-greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan.  

Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick, cake tester or slender knife inserted comes out clean.

Set aside and cool before topping with your favorite creamy white icing.

ENJOY!

Recipe: My Spicy Applesauce-Molasses Bars Are Easy and Make an Ideal Lower-Calorie Treat!

My Spicy Applesauce-Molasses Bar is great when you want something yummy in a hurry that is not overly rich.

Trying to watch your weight and still enjoy sweets is possible with this easy treat that I want to share with you. This recipe will make only enough of these delicious bars to enjoy without overproducing to later tempt you, but they do keep well if you have any left the next day.  

My Spicy Applesauce-Molasses Bars are in between a dense snack cake and a bar cookie with just enough molasses and zingy spices to make the taste memorable, especially once topped sparingly with a butter cream frosting. 

My recipe only uses one-fourth cup of oil.  Instead, the applesauce serves to replace some of that oil’s missing moistening power that normally would have been necessary for baking.  If you don’t have any applesauce on hand, you can peel and cook a few apples (two medium ones) and make your own.

I hope that the next time you get the urge for something sweet and feel like baking that you will print out my recipe.  I do think that you will like it.
