Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, apple pie spice, salt, and baking powder, creating a well-mixed dry base for your cake.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add the eggs and oleo (margarine). Blend these ingredients together until they reach a smooth consistency.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending until smooth and fully combined.
-
Prepare Pork and Beans: In a blender or food processor, blend the pork and beans until they achieve a smooth consistency, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into the batter.
-
Add Additional Ingredients: Fold in the crushed pineapple and the blended pork and beans into the cake batter, mixing until everything is well combined.
-
Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into a greased Bundt pan, spreading it evenly to ensure an even bake.
-
Bake the Cake: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting: While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by blending the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Frost the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, generously spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
-
Garnish: Finally, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the frosted cake for a delightful crunch and added flavor.
This Pork & Bean Cake is not just a cake; it’s a conversation starter and a delightful way to surprise your guests with its unique blend of flavors. Enjoy!
