Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Electric hand mixer
- 9x13 inch baking pan
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Small saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 Box White Cake Mix
- 1 Can Crushed Pineapples 20 Oz
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 8 Oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Butter
- 3 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease your baking pan with non-stick spray. This prevents the cake from sticking.
- Prepare the white cake mix in a bowl. Follow the package directions for eggs and oil. Mix until the batter is very smooth.
- Pour the batter into your greased pan. Bake for about thirty minutes. Check it with a toothpick for doneness.
- While baking, mix pineapples and sugar in a pan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for two minutes.
- Take the hot cake out of the oven. Poke holes all over with a spoon handle. This helps the juice go deep inside.
- Pour the hot pineapple mixture over the cake. Spread it evenly to cover every inch. Let the cake cool down completely.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter together. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla slowly. Mix until the frosting is very fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on the very top. Serve and enjoy this royal treat.
Notes
- Always use room temperature cream cheese for frosting.
- Do not drain the juice from the pineapples.
- Poke many holes so the syrup soaks in.
- Let the cake cool before adding the frosting.
- Toast the pecans for a much better crunch.
- Use a high-quality vanilla extract for better scent.
