Another find that will find it's way into my oven soon! Not only did this cake sound good, it seems very quick and easy to get assembled, baked, and on it's way to work, a picnic, or just the evening dinner table. With the onset of summer heat, it wouldn't have the oven going TOO long, either.
Fruit and Nutty Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts (or nut of your choice)
1 cup crushed, canned pineapple
Please the first six ingredients in a large mixing bowl and blend together. Fold in the walnuts and pineapple until well blended.
Spread in a 9 x 13 greased baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.
For an extra special treat, you can drizzle it with lemon icing soon after it exits the oven for a tart glaze.
Lemon Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Enough fresh lemon juice to form a pourable glaze
