Nutty Pineapple Cake

Ingredients 0/11

Directions

Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend everything together on medium speed for about a minute, until it’s well mixed. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and pop it in the oven. It should bake for around 30 to 40 minutes — you’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it’s out of the oven, let the cake cool for about 20 minutes while you whip up the icing. To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth, then add powdered sugar, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract. Mix it all until combined, spread the icing over the warm cake, and if you’re not serving it right away, pop it in the fridge to keep it fresh.
