*My Dad (Edward Kielpikowski) loved to make this cake for company, potlucks, and for just general eating. He always said it was easy to remember because it took 2 of everything. That is almost true with the exception of salt and nuts – their measurement is 1/2 and the can of pineapple, but it was a 20 oz can. 🙂 Most of the time my parents served this without the rich frosting as that made it deadly – just kidding, but it is certainly “rich” enough without it… LOL This recipe came from my Mom’s Aunt Estelle (Melton) .

– 2 c sugar (may cut the sugar to 1 cup – 1 1/2 cups as
it is very sweet)
– 2 c all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs
– 2 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 2 tsp vanilla
– 1/2 c nuts
– 1 can(s) 20 ounces crushed pineapple – undrained (i use
pineapple in it’s own juice)

FROSTING
– 1 pkg 8 ounce cream cheese – softened
– 1 3/4 c powdered sugar
– 1/4 c butter or margarine
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/2 c nuts
– 2 tsp vanilla
DIRECTIONS
1.  PREACHER CAKE: Combine dry ingredients; add remaining ingredients, and mix by hand. Bake in a 9 x 13 prepared pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
2.  FROSTING: Mix well and spread on cake in pan. Enjoy!
3.  * If you would like to save calories, instead of using the frosting, just sprinkle top of cake with a bit of powdered sugar and enjoy!
4.  * There is NO milk, butter, or oil in the cake. * You may add other fruits or coconut if you like: some suggestions are: dried cranberries, raisins, currants, tub of mixed dried fruit, and even fresh blueberries. * I suggest that you may cut the sugar to 1 cup as it is very sweet. I often cut the sugar in recipes.
