Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the crushed pineapple (including the juice), eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
Step 4
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition, until the frosting is smooth.
Step 8
Mix in the vanilla extract for the frosting and continue to beat until everything is well incorporated.
Step 9
Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
Step 10
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set. Cut into squares and enjoy!
