This wonderful cake starts with a cake mix to which you add pineapple and pecans. It is very moist, even better the second day.

Ingredients

Cake:

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

Frosting:

½ cup margarine, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round pans.
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.
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.
To make frosting: Beat margarine and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually blend in the confectioners' sugar. Mix in pecans.
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.
