WELCOME CAKE
This is a delicious, moist, "from scratch" pineapple pecan cake. We love it (maybe too much!) It's great for pot-lucks or parties. Fair warning: people WILL ask for the recipe! It's named 'Welcome Cake" because it's always welcome wherever it goes.

Steps:
- 1. Place oven rack in center position and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Lightly grease and flour (or spray with Bakers Joy) a 9"x13" pan or two 8"x8"nonreactive pans; set aside.
- 3. In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry batter ingredients.
- 4. Pour half of the undrained pineapple into dry ingredients.
- 5. Into pineapple remaining in can, add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- 6. Pour into the bowl and mix until just combined (do not over-mix or it will make the cake tough.)
- 7. Pour into prepared pan(s) and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- 8. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before frosting. May let it sit on counter for 1 hour then very loosely cover with foil and refrigerate until cool.
- 9. To make frosting, place cream cheese and butter in mixing bowl; using electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy.
- 10. Add powdered sugar, salt and vanilla.
- 11. Starting on low speed, mix until combined; increase speed and beat until smooth.
- 12. Spread evenly over cool cake; sprinkle with nuts and/or coconut, as desired. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
