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.
Pineapple Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice), 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ½ 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.
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
