Ingredients

  • 1 can of pineapple undrained
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 stick of butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the undrained pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, and baking soda. Beat the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and cooked through. You can perform the toothpick test by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is done.
  • Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes in the baking dish.
  • While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese icing. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the cake has cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese icing evenly over the warm cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will give the icing a chance to set.
  • Once the cake has cooled, you can cut it into slices and enjoy!
