Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 cup crushed pecans
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan.

Step 2

Put pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while you make the icing, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Mix cream cheese and butter for icing together in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, pecans, and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Spread over warm cake. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.
