Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, crushed pineapple (with its juice), and chopped toasted pecans. Let this mixture sit aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking soda. Stir until well blended.
- Gently fold in the egg and pineapple mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly and pour the batter into the prepared dish.
Baking
- Bake the mixture in your preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
Frosting
- Use an electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust with milk for the desired consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the surface of the cake.
