Elvis Presley Cake

1 white cake mix, made according to directions in 9x13 pan, cooled
8 oz. can crushed pineapple with juice
2 c. sugar
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. butter, softened
3 c. confectioners sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 c. chopped pecans, I use Fishers cookie pieces

Combine pineapple and sugar in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Spoon over cooled cake. Cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add confectioners sugar and beat until smooth. Add vanilla. Add pecans and mix well. Spread over cake. Keep refrigerated.

*not sure why it's called Elvis Presley cake. It doesn't have any peanut butter or bananas in it! Maybe because it's all shook up! LOL
