Pineapple Cake

One of our youngest helped make this pineapple cake, and it was incredibly simple. I would have never thought that making such a simple cake would be so easy, and it came together with just a few ingredients. If pineapple isn’t your thing this Cherry Lemon Crazy Cake is super easy too. Something that is really important in our family is teaching both our kids how to find their way around the kitchen. We take every opportunity that we can to get them in there and help us in any way they can. This is how they understand how cooking from home works, and how they can carry those tools out into the world.

This cake was so simple, and so easy to make. It came together in just under an hour, and even the kids loved it. It tasted great right out of the oven and was even better after being in the refrigerator for several days after. I will say the best way to enjoy it is right out of the oven with a great big scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top.
