The following items will be required to prepare a Texas Tornado Cake:

To make the cake:
1 teaspoon baking soda – 2 cups all-purpose flour – 2 cups granulated sugar
2 big eggs – 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence – 1 can (20 ounces) undrained crushed pineapple – 1 cup chopped pecans

For the garnish:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter – 1 cup granulated sugar – 1 cup evaporated milk – 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

To make the cream cheese frosting, follow these steps:

• 8 ounces softened cream cheese – 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – 4 cups powdered sugar

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial for making Texas Tornado Cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and lightly grease a 913-inch baking pan.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing basin. Mix in the eggs and vanilla essence until completely mixed.
3. Fold in the crushed pineapple (with juice) and pecans. Mix until all of the ingredients are distributed equally.
4. Spread the batter evenly in the oiled baking pan.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes in a preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Make the topping while the cake is baking. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Combine the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla essence in a mixing bowl. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and leave it to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
7. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot topping mixture over it. Using a spatula, spread everything out evenly.
8. Leave the cake in the pan to cool fully.
9. Meanwhile, make the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing dish, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla essence gradually, mixing until smooth and thoroughly blended.
10. After the cake has cooled, apply the cream cheese icing on top.
