Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

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

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round pans.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. To make frosting: Beat margarine and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually blend in the confectioners’ sugar. Mix in pecans.
5. Spread frosting onto the cooled cake layers. Stack layers; frost top and sides.
