Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, I combine the yellow cake mix, buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Using my electric mixer, I blend everything together until the batter is smooth and fluffy. The scent of vanilla already begins to fill my kitchen, and I just know this cake is going to be a winner. Remember to stir in the crushed pineapple and pecans just until combined—this will give our cake a delightful texture and flavor. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
