• 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 8 ounces cream cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Add the crushed pineapple (along with the juice), eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Mix in the pineapple juice until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.

Step 9

Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.

Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the cooled cake.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
