Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups grated fresh asparagus (about
- 1 pound), drained
- 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 to 2 tablespoons grated orange peel
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- Icing
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
- In a large bowl combine the first five ingredients. Add oil, eggs, asparagus, pineapple, orange peel and vanilla extract; mix well. Fold in pecans. Pour into greased and floured 10-inch fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Add orange peel, vanilla extract and enough milk until icing reaches desired consistency. Spoon over cake, allowing icing to drip down sides.
