Beat until well blended. In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.
  2. Spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched, 50-55 minutes. Immediately invert cake onto a wire rack; cool completely. Remove cake to a serving platter.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla and stir in pineapple. Frost cake. Store in the refrigerator.
