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.
