Easy Homemade Pineapple Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray, and gather all the necessary ingredients for the cake.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
3. Add the eggs, crushed pineapple (with its juice), and vanilla extract to the well. Whisk all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
4. Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours.
6. Prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
7. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to beat until the frosting is light, fluffy, and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
8. Once the cake has cooled completely, generously spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
9. Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy your delicious homemade pineapple cake!
