With One Icing, naturally. I’m having a nostalgia moment here, wanna come with? 🙂 My grandmother used to make “Mexican Wedding Cake” for us, although we’ve never been able to determine why it was named that way and it really doesn’t make any sense. I was missing Gram and called around aunt to sister to cousins until I found someone who still had the recipe and it’s just as yummy as I remember it, dark and chewy and similar to carrot cake. Although I’m re-christening it Two Cake, I’m sure Gram will understand. Two Cake 2 cups sifted flour 2 cups granulated sugar 2 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla 2 tsp baking soda 2 cups undrained crushed pineapple I usually add a cup of crushed walnuts, but that doesn’t work with the two-ness so I’m not listing it. Mix well, pour into prepared 9X13 and bake at 350º for 40 minutes. One Icing 1 brick cream cheese (8 oz) 1 stick real butter (1/2 cup) 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla Beat on medium speed until incorporated, then whip on high for 1 minute. ---

Sounds interesting. I’ve always thought Mexican Wedding Cakes were actually little roundish cookies covered with powdered sugar. We used to make them all the time around Christmas. ---
