Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated. If you want a hint of extra pineapple flavor, you can mix in a tablespoon of pineapple juice at this stage.
3. Frost the Cake:
Once the cake has completely cooled, generously spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake. For a decorative finish, sprinkle with more chopped pecans or shredded coconut, if desired.
Tips for Success
Don’t Drain the Pineapple: The pineapple juice is crucial for adding moisture to the cake, so be sure to use the entire can, juice and all.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your eggs and other ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps the batter come together smoothly and ensures even baking.
Add a Pineapple Glaze: For even more pineapple flavor, you can brush the cake with a simple pineapple glaze made by simmering pineapple juice with a bit of sugar until it thickens. This adds an extra layer of moisture and tanginess to the cake.
Make It Ahead: This cake is perfect for making ahead of time, as it gets even more moist after sitting for a day. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
