Easiest Pineapple Cake
After all the cake ingredients were in the bowl, I mixed them together with an electric mixer just until they were combined. That only took about 3 minutes tops. I folded the chopped pecans ( mine were more crushed ) into the batter. I poured the batter into a greased 13x 9 inch baking pan and placed it in the oven a 350 degree preheated oven for about 35 minutes.
I poured the batter into a greased 13x 9 inch baking pan and placed it in the oven a 350 degree preheated oven for about 35 – 40 minutes. About ten minutes before the cake was done I made the frosting.
To make the frosting place the butter, cream cheese and vanilla in a large bowl, beat the ingredients together until they’re creamy. Gradually add the confectioners sugar to the bowl and beat until the frosting is smooth. Frost the cake while it’s still warm, garnish the top of the cake with crushed nuts if you like.
