A deliciously sweet treat inspired by the King of Rock 'n' Roll!
📋 Ingredients
- White Cake Mix
- 8 oz can Crushed Pineapple (with juice)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (for pineapple mixture)
- 8 oz package Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (for frosting)
- 3 cups Crushed Pecans
📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Bake the Cake: Prepare and bake a white cake according to package directions in your desired cake pan. Once baked, cool the cake and poke holes throughout with the end of a wooden spoon.
2️⃣ Pineapple Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice), 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Bring to a boil for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the hot pineapple mixture over the cooled cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
3️⃣ Cream Cheese Frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, remaining vanilla extract, and 2 cups of crushed pecans, mixing until well combined. Spread this frosting over the pineapple-soaked cake.
4️⃣ Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crushed pecans over the top of the cake.
5️⃣ Chill: For the best flavor, let the cake set overnight in the refrigerator or at least for 6 hours before serving. This allows all the flavors to meld.
