Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • ½ cup margarine, softened

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice

  • ½ cup chopped pecans


Directions

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

Editor's Note:

You can use a 13x9-inch baking pan instead of three 8-inch round cake pans.
