Ingredients

1	crushed pineapple, undrained
2	all-purpose flour
2	white sugar
2	large eggs
2	teaspoons baking soda
2	teaspoons vanilla extract
1	(8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼	cup unsalted butter, softened
2	powdered sugar
1	cup crushed pecans
2	teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and greasing a 9x9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the undrained crushed pineapple, all-purpose flour, white sugar, large eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended, approximately 1 minute. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, for about 30 to 40 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, approximately 20 minutes, while preparing the icing.
  4. Prepare the icing by combining the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, crushed pecans, and vanilla extract to the mixture; blend until fully combined. Spread the icing over the warm cake. For optimum taste, refrigerate if not serving immediately.
