From Melanie:
Hello! Nice site and blog! I think I may have a recipe that someone named Bernice was looking for on your old recipe detective blog. She called it “pineapple cake” with cream cheese frosting. I call mine “best cake.” Here it is:

Best Cake/Pineapple Cake

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

2 tsp baking soda

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups chopped nuts

1 20-oz. can crushed pineapple, undrained

Combine all ingredients and mix by hand. Pour into greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool and frost with this:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

½ cup soft margarine (I use butter)

1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar

 Mix well and spread on cake. Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts.
