Description
This Easy Pineapple Cake is a deliciously moist and fluffy dessert made with just five simple ingredients. Combining a classic white cake mix with crushed pineapple and a creamy pineapple frosting, this cake is perfect for any occasion and requires minimal effort to prepare.
Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 1 box White Cake Mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed pineapple with juices
Frosting
- 4 oz plain cream cheese
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup drained crushed pineapple
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, add the white cake mix, eggs, and 1 cup of crushed pineapple with juice.
- Mix Batter: Beat the mixture on low speed until just combined. Then increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 2 minutes until the batter is white and fluffy.
- Bake Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Whip Cream Cheese: While the cake is baking, beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until fluffy and smooth, about a minute.
- Prepare Frosting: Add the sweetened condensed milk and drained crushed pineapple to the whipped cream cheese. Beat until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Frost and Chill: Once the cake has cooled, spread the pineapple cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Chill the cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve to let the flavors meld and frosting set.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple used in the batter includes the juices to keep the cake moist.
- Drain the pineapple used in the frosting well to avoid a runny topping.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture.
- You can substitute the white cake mix with a yellow cake mix if desired for a different flavor.
- This cake tastes best when chilled for at least an hour before serving.
