Cake is delicious. Add fruit, delicious. Add a caramel-y sauce over that cake? Even better. That’s what I’ve got for you guys today. Pineapple cake, soaked with a caramel-y sauce. I love it with ice cream. 🙂
The cake itself is simple. And you bake it in a 9×13 pan. How easy is that?
The sauce is only 3 ingredients. You pour that over the baked cake and let it soak down into the cake. Thus the name ‘soak cake.’
This is a family favorite recipe that has been passed down for years. It’s a keeper. It goes fast whenever we make it. That’s a sure sign of people liking it. 😉
