Bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
Pour the hot pineapple mixture evenly over the warm cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature.

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, instant pudding mix, and cold milk until smooth and thick.
Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled pineapple layer.
Sprinkle chopped pecans and additional chopped pineapple on top, if desired.
Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
