Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the crushed pineapple (with its juice), eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter forms and is smooth.
Stir in the sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth.
Add milk one tablespoon at a time to adjust the frosting's consistency if needed.
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut on top as a garnish.
Cut into squares or slices, serve, and enjoy!
