Ingredients

• ½ cup chopped pecans
• 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• ½ cup margarine, softened
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
• 3 large eggs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round pans.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

To make frosting: Beat margarine and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually blend in the confectioners' sugar. Mix in pecans.

Step 5

Spread frosting onto the cooled cake layers. Stack layers; frost top and sides.
