Pin it NOW to save it for later!

So…I need to tell you about this cake.  I know it looks a little boring sitting up there without a frosting, garnished instead with just a bit of shredded coconut.  In fact, I planned to top it with a pineapple whipped cream frosting, but after I tasted it I decided it was absolutely fine on its own.

This is another recipe I pulled from my grandma’s recipe box, and while the recipe card is penned in her writing, it says “Shirley, 1971” in the top right-hand corner, so I’m fairly certain this is my aunt’s recipe.

Now, I’m certain if I Google “Bubble Cake” there are a thousand and one recipes all over the interwebs, but this was completely new to me.  I’m assuming this is called a Pineapple Bubble Cake because you pour a sugary bubbling liquid over the cake right as it comes out of the oven.  That liquid seeps into the cake and keeps everything wonderfully moist and perfect and luscious.

You simply must try it.

Plus, the recipe is so super simple, you have no excuse not to make it!  I love, love, Iove the fact that this cake doesn’t even require a mixer.

This Pineapple Bubble Cake really is the perfect cake for spring and summer.  It’s light, and lovely, yet completely decadent.  Thank goodness my son loved this as much as I did, or I would have been in big trouble – this cake is a little addictive once you get started. ?  I really do hope you give it a try!
