Well a new tradition here for me tonight; "the decorating of the tree"
they do it here and I'm a part of the family so I made my famous;

"Pineapple Cake"


heat oven 350.

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 -20 oz can crushed pineapple
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts


mix dry ingredients
add wet ingredients
bake 35-45 minutes well greased cake pans
it browns pretty fast, keep an eye on it
test with toothpick

frosting:
8-oz cream cheese
1 stick butter
1 3/4 cup powdered sugar (optional)
(reg sugar makes grainy which is okay)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
I put some in between layers an load it on top!

For extra goodness and visual appeal
I put carmalized-whole rings of pineapple on top and inbetween.
I have them under the frosting in this picture (like a surprise)

In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat 1/2 c brown sugar
with 2 tbs butter over medium heat until melted,
stirring to combine. Add pineapple to skillet;
arrange in single layer. Cook pineapple 15 minutes,
turning pieces over once.

this is an amazingly good receipe and very easy, enjoy.
