Ingredients
Cake:
-
½ cup margarine, softened
-
3 large eggs
-
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
-
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
-
½ cup chopped pecans
Frosting:
-
½ cup margarine, softened
-
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-
4 cups confectioners' sugar
-
½ cup chopped pecans
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round pans.
-
Cream margarine in a large bowl until smooth. Blend in eggs. Add cake mix and pineapple with juice; mix until smooth. Stir in pecans. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on wire racks for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto cooling racks. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
-
To make frosting: Beat margarine and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually blend in the confectioners' sugar. Mix in pecans.
-
Spread frosting onto the cooled cake layers. Stack layers; frost top and sides.
Editor's Note:
You can use a 13x9-inch baking pan instead of three 8-inch round cake pans.
