Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Add the crushed pineapple with its juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined, but do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
To prepare the cream cheese icing, beat the softened cream cheese and softened unsalted butter together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese icing evenly over the top of the cake.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
