Easy Pineapple Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 can 20 ounces crushed pineapple, undrained
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
For the Frosting:
– 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, undrained crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined. Fold in the walnuts if using.
3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
4. Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until light and creamy.
5. Frost the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
6. Serve: Slice the cake and enjoy the moist, tropical flavors. Optionally, you can top the cake with extra chopped walnuts or pineapple slices for garnish.
