Amish Pineapple Bars
1/2 cup oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 1/2 cups flour

1 3/4 cup sugar

Mix together the oil, eggs, lemon juice and coconut extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until blended.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1/2 cup softened butter 4 oz. softened cream cheese 3 tablespoons crushed pineapple 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract 3 cups powdered sugar

1 cup walnuts (I only did walnuts on half. There are nut haters among us.) 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut Beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the pineapple and extracts. Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and beat until smooth. Toast the walnuts and coconut briefly in the oven or on the stove top until the coconut is browned. Sprinkle over frosted cake.
