Cajun Cake image

I have no idea why this is called a Cajun cake, but I do know that my family has been making it for years and you just about have to knock someone away from the pan to get a bite before it is all gone.

CAJUN CAKE



Cajun Cake image

Yum! This is a warm, gooey, old-fashioned cake everyone will love. Betty comes from the heart of Cajun country where I bet this cake is found on every potluck dessert table. The cake itself is easy to make, spongy, and has bits of pineapple in every bite. The icing is thick, sugary and full of coconut and pecans. It's a tad time...
