Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
16 ounces pork & beans
8 ounces crushed pineapple


FROSTING
8 ounces cream cheese
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1⁄2 cup butter
1 (1 lb) box confectioners' sugar (10x Small Box)
1 (16 ounce) bag pecans, chopped
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together. Combine the above mixture with eggs, sugar, and oil in a large mixing bowl.
Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Mash drained beans and pineapple into the mixture. You could use a blender for this part and probably would be better to get a smooth bean mixture. Bake 30-35 minutes until toothpick test comes out clean. (I cooked it quite a bit longer) Cool for 25 minutes.
Topping: Mix all ingredients except 1/2 of the pecans; spread between layers, or if a bundt cake style, over the whole thing. Sprinkle remaining pecans on top.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Our neighbor Daryl was telling us about a cake that another neighbor had made for years. He said he wouldn't try it because it was "Pork and Bean Cake", which really doesn't sound that appealing. When he finally tried it he loved it but she wouldn't give out the recipe as it was a depression era family recipe. I found this one online and made it and brought some to him and he said it is the same, tastes just like a spice cake. It is really good but I must say I wouldn't have tried it if he hadn't said it didn't taste like pork and beans!
