Cake recipe came from my Aunt Ida Spenser to which she gave me many years ago in my teenage years.  She often made this particular cake on many occasions while being at her house as a child growing up.  She either served it plain or marbled; or with frosting or icing.  She often made it in the fruitcake (mixed peel and raisins soaked) variation as well.  

Excluding the pineapple, I just decided when making this to add the pineapple.  She made it with vanilla flavoring and plain.
