Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup margarine
½ cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
5 eggs, separated
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (3.5 ounce) can flaked coconut
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup margarine, softened
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch baking pans.
  • Beat 1/2 cup margarine and shortening in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in sugar. Beat in egg yolks until smooth.
  • Combine flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add to the margarine mixture in batches, alternating with buttermilk, until batter is smooth. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; add pecans and coconut.
  • Beat egg whites with clean beaters in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter. Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes; invert onto a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup margarine in a bowl until smooth; stir in confectioners' sugar. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until frosting is combined.
  • Spread frosting onto the cooled cake layers. Stack cakes; frost top and sides.

I'm not a fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed this cake. The pineapple flavor is very prominent and the cream filling is delicious.
