- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Add the eggs, crushed pineapple (with juice), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined and a smooth batter forms.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 6
While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating well between additions. Mix until all the powdered sugar is incorporated and the frosting is fluffy.
Step 8
Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 9
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Step 10
If desired, sprinkle the top with shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Step 11
