Ingredients

Cooking spray

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 large eggs

1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center.
  3. Add eggs, crushed pineapple with juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool completely in the pan for 1 to 2 hours.
  7. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  8. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
  9. Spread frosting evenly over the cooled cake, then slice and serve.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.

Mix in shredded coconut or top with toasted coconut for a tropical twist.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days due to the cream cheese frosting.

Allow slices to sit at room temperature briefly before serving for best texture.

Freeze unfrosted cake for up to 2 months and thaw before frosting.
