Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Frosting:
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pineapple slices for decoration
Directions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure easy removal of the cake.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, vigorously beat the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with pineapple juice, to create a uniform batter.
- Fold in the crushed pineapple, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter. Then, pour the batter into your prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Embellish your cake with pineapple slices for a decorative and delicious finish.
