Step 1
This frosting can be used on a layer cake or a sheet cake. Make your favorite vanilla type cake. Set aside and let cool. You can make the frosting while the cake is cooling. The following directions are for a sheet cake.

Step 2
Recipe:
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 stick of butter
1 box of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of real vanilla flavoring
3 15-16 oz. size cans of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup -
Step 3
Directions:
Drain the pineapple from 2 cans and reserve the juice. Take the pineapple from the 2 cans and mix with the pineapple and the juice from the third can. Mix together.
In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and butter and beat until well blended.
Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
Blend well. If the icing seems to be to thick add a little of the pineapple juice.
When you have the icing to the consistency that you want, add the vanilla flavoring and beat well. Set the icing aside.
When the cake has completely cooled, take a toothpick and punch some holes in the cake. Drizzle some of the reserved pineapple juice over the cake. If it puddles up on the cake, let it set a while because the cake will soak it up.
You need the icing at a spreading consistency and it needs to be somewhat thin. Spread over the cake.
Once the cake is completely covered, pour the pineapple over the icing and spread out over the entire cake. Punch some more holes in the cake and add a little more of the juice. Save any of the pineapple juice you have left and refrigerate. You can periodically add the juice over the cake. This makes the cake really moist. -
Step 4
If you want to use this recipe on a layer cake, bake the layers and let them cool. Once they have cooled, split the layers in half Follow the same directions that you did for the sheet cake except add the frosting and pineapple to each split layer. This would be enough for a 2 layer cake that would be split. (Splitting would give you 4 layers).
