Instructions
Cake
Mix sugar, flour, nuts, and baking soda together. Add un-drained pineapple, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Pour into greased and floured 15x10x1 pan. Bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees. Test for doneness. Let cool 10 minutes. Pour/spread icing over warm cake. Refrigerate. This gets better with age.
Icing
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Recipe Note: If you want more icing, use 2 ½ cups powdered sugar in the icing. Put about 1/3 on the warm cake. When cool, smooth the rest on. Or in a pinch you could use a can of cream cheese icing.
