    Pineapple Sheet Cake

    This cake is perfect for serving to a crowd. It keeps so well that you can easily prepare it a day ahead and it will stay moist. I often take this to potluck meals at our church, and I have yet to take much of it home.

    I "posted" this because when I clicked on "viewing the recipe" I thought I'd never get back to this thread.   I have made this recipe many times but I use the pineapple in juice and it turns out very well - less sugar, then.

    It is a very good cake.

    I am wondering if there is shortening or margarine missing in the cake batter in this recipe.

    Does the crushed pineapple take the place of it?? Thanks

    I made this and I beleive the baking time given is incorrect. I only baked mine for about 20 to 25 minutes and it got really brown on top. It is so good!

    And to answer the question about shortening, I guess the pineapple takes its place because I followed the recipe exactly, except for the above noted difference in baking time.
