1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Beat sugar with eggs. Add pineapple WITH juice; stir to mix.
2. Sift flour and baking soda together, add to mix.
3. Pour into ungreased 9 x 13 baking dish.
4. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.
5. While cake is baking, make topping.
6. Cream together cream cheese, sugar, butter and vanilla* at high speed.
