Pineapple Delight Pound Cake

A rich buttery pound cake layered with a mixture of sweetened cream cheese, pineapple, and whipped cream.

My family loves pineapple and pound cakes so I decided to combine the two and make one delicious Pineapple Delight Pound Cake.   I make this on the holidays because after cooking all day, I like to have a dessert that doesn't require a lot of time or a lot of ingredients.   Being that I start out with a Sara Lee® All Butter Pound Cake  this dessert comes together quite quickly, and can even be made ahead of time and put in the fridge until after dinner.  

Pineapple & Coconut Bundt Cake

Pineapple & Coconut Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese frosting and toasted coconut.

My husband loves coconut so he's always asking me to make something with it.  I love pineapple so I thought the two would make a perfect combination.  This recipe doesn't call for any butter or oil, however the addition of the pineapple juice makes the cake moist and dense.  I topped it off with a cream cheese frosting that I added while the cake was still warm so it seeps down into the cake as well.  Then sprinkle on some toasted coconut for a pretty garnish.  This cake uses everyday ingredients found in your pantry and you can mix it up in one bowl.  This is definitely a simple and delicious cake!

Watergate Salad made with Cream Cheese

 

I wanted to make a green dessert for this weekend and while I was looking through some cookbooks I found a recipe for Watergate Salad.   I don't recall ever having this salad, but it sounded interesting so I decided to come up with my own version!  I'm not too fond of marshmallows being in dessert salads so I omitted those as well as the nuts.  I figured the marshmallows added a creaminess and since I took them out I needed something to replace it.  Being that I have an obsession with cream cheese, I figured that would be perfect.  I made this with low-fat cream cheese and lite cool whip and you can't tell at all!  I love the color of this salad, how simple it is to prepare and how it ended up tasting...I hope you enjoy!

Tropical Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Now that warmer weather is here, I'm all about quick and easy desserts. Here is a perfect example of one. Staple ingredients are mixed in one bowl and it doesn't have any oil or butter! However, it doesn't lack in flavor or moisture due to the addition of canned pineapple juice. 

Pineapple Cream Cheese Braid

 

 

This is by far the most requested dessert at holidays or anytime of the year!  When I make this, I can't make enough. It starts out with a simple yeast dough, filled with a sweetened cream cheese and topped off with crushed pineapple.  Braid it all together to make a beautiful presentation and a delicious dessert!
