Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spread frosting on cooled cake.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 3

Mix flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add eggs, crushed pineapple with juice, and vanilla; whisk until well-combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until top is deeply browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cake cool in the dish on a wire rack, 1 to 2 hours.

Step 5

To make the frosting: Combine cream cheese and butter for frosting in a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy, about 1 or 2 minutes more.
