It takes about two cups of frosting to cover the cake, never mind the weight; different frostings will have different weights per cup, so that's not a reliable indication of how much"stuff" you have or need. When it comes to frosting a cake, volume is the ideal way to determine how much physical space a frosting will occupy.
Two cups is just a rough guideline, though—you may prefer a more generous layer of frosting, since the cake is rather thick, so let your heart be your guide. Whatever you do, finish it off with a handful of toasted pecans for an extra bit of crunch. Thanks to the heavy cast iron skillet, the cake won't slide around on the floor of a car, so it's easily transported to whatever summer picnics and potlucks you have in store. Not that you'll be inclined to share. The combination of fruity, tropical cake and tangy cream cheese, contrasted with the earthy crunch of toasted pecans, can definitely inspire a bit of greed.
Fortunately, the skillet format won't leave a dangerous amount of cake in your home; it's the perfect amount for a small family to enjoy for dessert one night, with enough left over for a sweet treat the next day.
