Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

  4. Stir in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and 1/2 cup of the chopped nuts.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  8. For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating until the frosting is thick and well blended.
  10. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining chopped nuts over the top.
