Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Oven
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan thoroughly, making sure all crevices are well coated to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cream Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light, fluffy, and pale in color.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Flavoring

Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Fold in Pineapple and Pecans
Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple and toasted pecans, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 80–90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations

Rum Glazed Pound Cake: Add a splash of rum to the glaze for a tropical twist.
Mini Bundt Cakes: Divide batter into mini pans and reduce baking time.
