Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Cake:
Bake the white cake as per the instructions on the package in your chosen pan. Once baked, allow it to cool. Use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
2️⃣ Make the Pineapple Mixture:
In a saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), 1 cup of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Heat until it reaches a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour the warm pineapple mixture evenly over the cooled cake, ensuring it soaks into the holes.
3️⃣ Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, the remaining vanilla extract, and 2 cups of chopped pecans. Mix well. Spread this frosting over the pineapple-soaked cake.
4️⃣ Decorate:
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of chopped pecans on top of the frosted cake.
5️⃣ Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake overnight or for at least 6 hours to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
