Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, 2 eggs, and drained crushed pineapple. Stir until well blended.
Step 3
Press the cake mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust layer.

Step 5
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the pineapple cake layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set but still slightly gooey in the center.

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 8
Slice into squares or rectangles to serve. Best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
