Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 can (20 oz) Crushed pineapple, drained
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, 2 eggs, and drained crushed pineapple. Stir until well blended.
Press the cake mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust layer.
In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the pineapple cake layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
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.
Slice into squares or rectangles to serve. Best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
