2 cups fresh pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) package white cake mix

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups toasted, chopped pecans
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup chopped almonds
