Pineapple Cheesecake Recipe

Years ago, I had written and made many times a recipe for a "Pineapple Cheesecake", the recipe came from a bag of Gold Medal Flour. The base of the cake was actually a cake batter made from scratch with the chunks of pineapples placed into the batter, it used cream cheese with some of the pineapple juice.

If anyone has this recipe, I would greatly appreciate a copy of it, I have moved several times over the years and in the moves lost this really tasty cheesecake.

Hope someone out there can help.

Thanks so much,
Nancylee from Southeastern, Massachusetts

I have a similar recipe. We call it Sunshine Cake (I hope it is comparable to yours...it is quite yummy!) Here is our recipe:

Sunshine Cake

Cake:

1 box yellow cake mix

1/2 cup oil

4 eggs

1 medium can mandarin oranges (do not drain)
Mix ingredients and bake in a greased/floured 9x13 pan at 325 for 45 minutes. Allow cake to completely cool before applying topping.

Topping:

1 (20oz) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)

1 TBSP sugar

1 (10 oz) package of cheesecake mix (do not use the graham cracker crust part - I've always used the Royal brand)

1 (9oz) container Cool whip

1 (8oz) container of sour cream

Mix and spread on completely cooled cake. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve and return to refrigerator upon serving. (03/26/2007)

Thank you tismom for the Pineapple cheesecake recipe, it is not exactly the same, actually, it sounds like it is a "Better Version" of the one I was in search of. I will definitely try your recipe and again, thanks so much for the recipe, I can't wait to make it. It sounds so delicious.
Take good care.

You're welcome, Nancylee. I have always been a collector of recipes and recipe books... well, not always, but since I first got married 26 years ago, because I was always calling my mom for advice on cooking. I had never made complete meals before due to lack of interest. So, my mom starting buying recipe books for me, and even gave me some of her old ones. That's when I started adding to them through the years, and love browsing through them for ideas.

Enjoy! (04/03/2007)
