Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 10 inch tube pan. In large bowl, cream sugar, 1 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Cut up yams; add to creamed mixture, beating until well mixed. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour, cinnamon, soda, and nutmeg; mix well. By hand, fold in pecans, raisins, and drained pineapple. Spoon batter into prepared pan; spread evenly.

In medium saucepan, heat frosting over medium heat just until melted, stirring constantly. Spoon over cooled cake allowing some to run down sides. 16 servings.

To substitute for yams, use 1 1/4 cups mashed, cooked sweet potatoes.

If using Pillsbury's Best all-purpose or unbleached flour, increase soda to 2 teaspoons and add 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt to flour mixture.
