Directions
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This initial step sets the stage for your tremendous baking adventure.
-
Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, ensuring it is well-prepared for your luscious cake.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture will play a crucial role in creating the structure of your cake.
-
In another bowl, beat together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, crushed pineapple with its juice, and buttermilk, mixing until well combined. The addition of crushed pineapple adds a tremendous amount of moisture to the batter.
-
Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until blended. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
-
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. The batter should look fluffy and delightful as it promises a wonderful outcome.
-
Bake in your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Use a toothpick to check; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
-
While the cake cools, make the frosting by beating together the cream cheese and softened butter in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy.
-
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, adding that tropical flavor to your frosting.
-
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top. The cake will soon look as inviting as it will taste!
-
Refrigerate the frosted cake for at least 1 hour before serving. This time allows the frosting to set beautifully.
