Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, softened butter, drained crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition, until a thick and smooth frosting is formed.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- Serve and enjoy!
