Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x9-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend everything together until the batter is smooth, which should take about a minute. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and pop it in the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for about 20 minutes while you whip up the icing. For the icing, beat together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Then add the powdered sugar, pecans, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined. Spread the frosting over the warm cake, and if you’re not serving it right away, keep it in the fridge.
