Delicious Pineapple Pecan Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pineapple Pecan Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking pan and give it a good buttering to ensure your cake comes out easily later on.

2. Step 2

   Next, spread your chopped pecans onto a baking sheet. A light spray of cooking spray will help them toast beautifully. Pop them in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until they’re fragrant and golden brown. Keep an eye on them; you want them toasted, not burnt!

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, and baking soda. This is where the magic begins! Now, stir in the undrained crushed pineapple along with the eggs. Mix until everything is well combined and you have a lovely batter. Finally, gently fold in those toasted pecans, adding a delightful crunch to your cake.

4. Step 4

   Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Slide it into the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Step 5

   While the cake cools, let’s whip up a delicious frosting! In a bowl, beat together confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and a splash of vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Keep mixing until the icing is smooth and creamy. Once your cake is completely cool, generously frost the top with your creamy icing, making it look as delightful as it tastes!
