Products Used

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Pineapple Whipped Cream Frosting

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
  • 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained well

Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh pineapple wedges
  • Maraschino cherries

  5. Place metal bowl and wire whisk attachment in freezer for 10 minutes. Remove and beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  6. Beat butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until creamy.
  7. Add powdered sugar and drained pineapple and mix again.
  8. Fold whipped cream into mixture until light and fluffy. Spread on cooled cake.
