PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE CAKE

Category: Cakes from Cake Mixes

1 box yellow cake mix
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 (16 oz) box confectioners sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Mix cake according to package directions. Spread batter into a greased and floured 13x9 inch baking pan and bake as instructed.

Boil crushed pineapple with juice and sugar for 3 minutes. While cake is still warm poke holes on top of cake with a two-pronged fork and slowly pour pineapple mixture over cake, a little at a time to let it soak in. Continue until all the syrup is used. Allow cake to cool completely before frosting.

Cream butter and cream cheese and add confectioners sugar, beating until creamy. Add nuts and continue beating until spreading consistency. Spread over top of cake. Cut into squares and serve directly from pan. Refrigerate leftovers.
