Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together evenly.

Step 3

Add the eggs and the entire can of crushed pineapple (with juice) to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and the batter is smooth.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 7

While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer.

Step 8

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 9

Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the frosting as garnish.

Step 11

Slice the cake into squares or rectangles and serve.
