“From what I’ve been told over the years, Preacher Cake got its name because it was a cake you usually had the ingredients for in your pantry so if the preacher told you he was coming to visit, you could whip one up with what you had on-hand.”
Preacher’s Cake – Easy Like A Sunday Morning
Ingredients
3 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Clabber Girl baking soda
1 teaspoon Morton salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick cinnamon
2 cups Domino sugar
3 Eggland’s Best eggs
1 cup Wesson vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 20-ounce can Dole crushed pineapple, with juice
1 1/2 cups finely chopped Fisher pecans or walnuts, divided
1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe below)
Instructions
Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
Combine sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined.
Add pineapple (undrained), 1 cup chopped pecans and coconut and continue mixing on medium-low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined (about 1 minute).
Spray a 13×9 baking pan with cooking spray. Pour cake batter into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until cake is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool cake completely in pan then the frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans over cake. Store in refrigerator.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 8-ounce package Philadelphia cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) Land O Lakes butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon McCormick vanilla extract
2 cups Domino powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
Whip cream cheese, butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in powdered sugar (add more if necessary to reach desired consistency – if your kitchen’s hot, you might need more because the butter will be softer). Makes enough to top one 13×9 cake – double recipe if using on a layered cake.
