Well, I had a simple little tip all ready to share with you, but I saw that this week there is a theme for Works For Me Wednesday: Best Summer Recipe. So, I will share with you my favorite summer dessert - Pineapple Cake.This cake is so simple, so moist and so delicious! My kids love it and my 11 year old son actually requested it for his birthday cake. And, it is very low fat, requiring no oil. It doesn't take many ingredients and can be eaten without the icing if you are watching your weight.
Pineapple Cake
Ingredients for Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp. baking soda

That sounds great and it's so simple. I may have to try it.
Tiffany,
It's actually a recipe I got from the SL boards.
I have all the ingredients except the eggs. I will have to try it after all the birthday cake is gone. I have an easy summer recipe posted on my blog. Check it out: www.cafebrigitte.wordpress.com
Oh so sorry, but for some reason the "can be eaten without the icing" words do not print out clearly on my printer (because I scratched them out, maybe) -- LOL -- no way I'm passing up that icing!!! The cake recipe sounds delicious!
